And<S>2532</S> I wrote<S>1125</S> this<S>5124, 846</S> unto you<S>5213</S>, lest<S>3361</S>, when I came<S>2064</S>, I would have<S>2192</S> sorrow<S>3077</S> from<S>575</S> them in whom<S>3739</S> I<S>3165</S> ought<S>1163</S> to rejoice<S>5463</S>; having confidence<S>3982</S> in<S>1909</S> you<S>5209</S> all<S>3956</S>, that<S>3754</S> my<S>1699</S> joy<S>5479</S> is<S>2076</S> the joy of you<S>5216</S> all<S>3956</S>.

But<S>1161</S> if<S>1487</S> any<S>5100</S> have caused grief<S>3076</S>, he has<S>3076</S> not<S>3756</S> grieved<S>3076</S> me<S>1691</S>, but<S>235</S> in<S>575</S> part<S>3313</S>: that<S>2443</S> I may<S>1912</S> not<S>3361</S> be too severe<S>1912</S> to you<S>5209</S> all<S>3956</S>.

Sufficient<S>2425</S> to such a man<S>5108</S> is this<S>3778</S> punishment<S>2009</S>, which<S>3588</S> was inflicted by<S>5259</S> the many<S>4119</S>.

So that<S>5620</S> on the contrary<S>5121</S> you<S>5209</S> ought rather<S>3123</S> to forgive<S>5483</S> him<S>2532</S>, and comfort<S>3870</S> him<S>3381</S>, lest perhaps such a one<S>5108</S> should be swallowed up<S>2666</S> with too much<S>4053</S> sorrow<S>3077</S>.

Therefore<S>1352</S> I beg<S>3870</S> you<S>5209</S> that you would confirm<S>2964</S> your love<S>26</S> toward<S>1519</S> him<S>846</S>.

For<S>1063</S> to<S>1519</S> this end<S>5124</S> also<S>2532</S> did I write<S>1125</S>, that<S>2443</S> I might know<S>1097</S> the proof<S>1382</S> of you<S>5216</S>, whether<S>1487</S> you be<S>2075</S> obedient<S>5255</S> in<S>1519</S> all things<S>3956</S>.

<S>1161</S> To whom<S>3739</S> you forgive<S>5483</S> any thing<S>5100</S>, I<S>1473</S> forgive also<S>2532</S>: for<S>2532, Genesis63</S> if I<S>1473</S> forgave<S>5483</S> any thing<S>1536</S>, to whom<S>3739</S> I forgave<S>5483</S> it<S>1223</S>, for your sakes <S>5209</S> forgave I it in<S>1722</S> the person<S>4383</S> of Christ<S>5547</S>;

Lest<S>2443, 3361</S> Satan<S>4567</S> should get an advantage<S>4122</S> over<S>5259</S> us<S>1063</S>: for we are<S>50</S> not<S>3756</S> ignorant<S>50</S> of his<S>846</S> devices<S>3540</S>.

Furthermore<S>1161</S>, when I came<S>2064</S> to<S>1519</S> Troas<S>5174</S> to<S>1519</S> preach Christ<S>5547</S>'s gospel<S>2098</S>, and<S>2532</S> a door<S>2374</S> was opened<S>455</S> unto me<S>3427</S> of<S>1722</S> the Lord<S>2962</S>,

Now<S>1161</S> thanks<S>5485</S> be unto God<S>2316</S>, which always<S>3842</S> causes<S>2358</S> us<S>2248</S> to triumph in<S>1722</S> Christ<S>5547</S>, and<S>2532</S> makes manifest<S>5319</S> the sweet aroma<S>3744</S> of his<S>846</S> knowledge<S>1108</S> by<S>1223</S> us<S>2257</S> in<S>1722</S> every<S>3956</S> place<S>5117</S>.


text:
For<S>3754</S> we are<S>2070</S> unto God<S>2316</S> a sweet aroma<S>2175</S> of Christ<S>5547</S>, in<S>1722</S> them that<S>3588</S> are saved<S>4982</S>, and<S>2532</S> in<S>1722</S> them that<S>3588</S> perish<S>622</S>:


text:
To the one<S>3739, Ezekiel3</S> we are the smell<S>3744</S> of death<S>2288</S> unto<S>1519</S> death<S>2288</S>; and<S>1161</S> to the other<S>3739</S> the aroma<S>3744</S> of life<S>2222</S> unto<S>1519</S> life<S>2222</S>. And<S>2532</S> who<S>5101</S> is sufficient<S>2425</S> for<S>4314</S> these things<S>5023</S>?


text:
For<S>1063</S> we are<S>2070</S> not<S>3756</S> as<S>5613</S> many<S>4183</S>, which corrupt<S>2585</S> the word<S>3056</S> of God<S>2316</S>: but<S>235</S> as<S>5613</S> of<S>1537</S> sincerity<S>1505</S>, but<S>235</S> as<S>5613</S> of<S>1537</S> God<S>2316</S>, in the sight<S>2714</S> of God<S>2316</S> speak we<S>2980</S> in<S>1722</S> Christ<S>5547</S>.


text:
Do we begin<S>756</S> again<S>3825</S> to commend<S>4921</S> ourselves<S>1438</S>? or<S>1487, 3361</S> need we<S>5535</S>, as<S>5613</S> some<S>5100</S> others<S>1992</S>, letters of commendation<S>4956</S> to<S>4314</S> you<S>5209</S>, or<S>2228</S> letters of<S>1537</S> commendation<S>4956</S> from you<S>5216</S>?


text:
you<S>5210</S> are<S>2075</S> our<S>2257</S> letter<S>1992</S> written<S>1449</S> in<S>1722</S> our<S>2257</S> hearts<S>2588</S>, known<S>1097</S> and<S>2532</S> read<S>314</S> of<S>5259</S> all<S>3956</S> men<S>444</S>:


text:
Forasmuch as you are manifestly<S>5319</S> declared<S>3754</S> to be<S>2075</S> the letter<S>1992</S> of Christ<S>5547</S> served<S>1247</S> by<S>5259</S> us<S>2257</S>, written<S>1449</S> not<S>3756</S> with ink<S>3188</S>, but<S>235</S> with the Spirit<S>4151</S> of the living<S>2198</S> God<S>2316</S>; not<S>3756</S> in<S>1722</S> tables<S>4109</S> of stone<S>3035</S>, but<S>235</S> in<S>1722</S> fleshy<S>4560</S> tables<S>4109</S> of the heart<S>2588</S>.


text:
And<S>1161</S> such<S>5108</S> trust<S>4006</S> have we<S>2192</S> through<S>1223</S> Christ<S>5547</S> toward<S>4314</S> God<S>2316</S>:


text:
Not<S>3756</S> that<S>3754</S> we are<S>2070</S> sufficient<S>2425</S> of<S>575</S> ourselves<S>1438</S> to think<S>3049</S> any thing<S>5100</S> as<S>5613</S> of<S>1537</S> ourselves<S>1438</S>; but<S>235</S> our<S>2257</S> sufficiency<S>2426</S> is of<S>1537</S> God<S>2316</S>;


text:
Who<S>3739</S> also<S>2532</S> has made<S>2427</S> us<S>2248</S> able ministers<S>1249</S> of the new<S>2537</S> testament<S>1242</S>; not<S>3756</S> of the letter<S>1121</S>, but<S>235</S> of the spirit<S>4151</S>: for<S>1063</S> the letter<S>1121</S> kills<S>615</S>, but<S>1161</S> the spirit<S>4151</S> gives life<S>2227</S>.


text:
But<S>1161</S> if<S>1487</S> the service<S>1248</S> of death<S>1722</S>, written<S>1121</S> and engraved<S>1795</S> in<S>1722</S> stones<S>3037</S>, was<S>1096, 1722</S> glorious<S>1391</S>, so that<S>5620</S> the sons<S>5207</S> of Israel<S>2474</S> could<S>1410</S> not<S>3361</S> stedfastly behold<S>816, 1519</S> the face<S>4383</S> of Moses<S>3475</S> for<S>1223</S> the glory<S>1391</S> of his<S>846</S> face<S>4383</S>; which<S>3588</S> glory was to be done away<S>2673</S>:


text:
How<S>4459</S> shall<S>2071</S> not<S>3780</S> the service<S>1248</S> of the spirit<S>4151</S> be<S>2071</S> rather<S>3123, 1722</S> glorious<S>1391</S>?


text:
For<S>1063</S> if<S>1487</S> the service<S>1248</S> of condemnation<S>2633</S> has glory<S>1391</S>, much<S>4183</S> more<S>3123</S> does<S>4052</S> the service<S>1248</S> of righteousness<S>1343</S> exceed<S>4052</S> in<S>1722</S> glory<S>1391</S>.


text:
For<S>1063</S> even<S>2532</S> that which<S>3588</S> was made glorious<S>1392</S> had<S>1392</S> no<S>3761</S> glory<S>1392</S> in<S>1722</S> this<S>5129</S> respect<S>3313</S>, by reason of<S>1752</S> the glory<S>1391</S> that<S>3588</S> excels<S>5235</S>.


text:
For<S>1063</S> if<S>1487</S> that which<S>3588</S> is done away<S>2673</S> was<S>1223</S> glorious<S>1391</S>, much<S>4183</S> more<S>3123</S> that which<S>3588</S> remains<S>3306</S> is<S>1722</S> glorious<S>1391</S>.


text:
Seeing then<S>3767</S> that we have<S>2192</S> such<S>5108</S> hope<S>1680</S>, we use<S>5530</S> great<S>4183</S> plainness of speech<S>3954</S>:


text:
And<S>2532</S> not<S>3756</S> as<S>2509</S> Moses<S>3475</S>, which put<S>5087</S> a veil<S>2571</S> over<S>1909</S> his<S>1438</S> face<S>4383</S>, that<S>4314</S> the sons<S>5207</S> of Israel<S>2474</S> could<S>816</S> not<S>3361</S> stedfastly look<S>816</S> to<S>1519</S> the end<S>5056</S> of that which<S>3588</S> is abolished<S>2673</S>:


text:
But<S>235</S> their<S>846</S> minds<S>3540</S> were blinded<S>4456</S>: for<S>1063</S> until<S>891</S> this day<S>4594</S> remains<S>3306</S> the same<S>846</S> veil<S>2571, 3361</S> not taken away<S>343</S> in<S>1909</S> the reading<S>320</S> of the old<S>3820</S> testament<S>1242</S>; which<S>3739, Acts0</S> veil is done away<S>2673</S> in<S>1722</S> Christ<S>5547</S>.


text:
But<S>235</S> even to<S>2193</S> this day<S>4594</S>, when<S>2259</S> Moses<S>3475</S> is read<S>314</S>, the veil<S>2571</S> is<S>2749</S> upon<S>1909</S> their<S>846</S> heart<S>2588</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>1161</S> when<S>2259, Leviticus2</S> one shall turn<S>1994</S> to<S>4314</S> the Lord<S>2962</S>, the veil<S>2571</S> shall be taken away<S>4014</S>.


text:
Now<S>1161</S> the Lord<S>2962</S> is<S>2076</S> that Spirit<S>4151</S>: and<S>1161</S> where<S>3757</S> the Spirit<S>4151</S> of the Lord<S>2962</S> is<S>1563</S>, there is liberty<S>1657</S>.


text:
But<S>1161</S> we<S>2249</S> all<S>3956</S>, with<S>4383</S> open<S>343</S> face<S>4383</S> beholding as in a mirror<S>2734</S> the glory<S>1391</S> of the Lord<S>2962</S>, are changed<S>3339</S> into the same<S>846</S> image<S>1504</S> from<S>575</S> glory<S>1391</S> to<S>1519</S> glory<S>1391</S>, even as<S>2509</S> by the Spirit<S>4151</S> of<S>575</S> the Lord<S>2962</S>.


text:
Therefore<S>5124</S> seeing<S>1223</S> we have<S>2192</S> this<S>3778</S> ministry<S>1248</S>, as<S>2531</S> we have received mercy<S>1653</S>, we faint<S>1573</S> not<S>3756</S>;


text:
But<S>235</S> have renounced<S>550</S> the hidden things<S>2927</S> of dishonesty<S>152</S>, not<S>3361</S> walking<S>4043</S> in<S>1722</S> craftiness<S>3834</S>, nor<S>3366</S> handling<S>1389</S> the word<S>3056</S> of God<S>2316</S> deceitfully<S>1389</S>; but<S>235</S> by manifestation<S>5321</S> of the truth<S>225</S> commending<S>4921</S> ourselves<S>1438</S> to<S>4314</S> every<S>3956</S> man<S>444</S>'s conscience<S>4893</S> in the sight of<S>1799</S> God<S>2316</S>.


text:

Therefore<S>686</S>, though<S>1487, 2532</S> I wrote<S>1125</S> unto you<S>5213</S>, I did it not<S>3756</S> for his cause<S>1752</S> that<S>3588</S> had done the wrong<S>91</S>, nor<S>3761</S> for his cause<S>1752</S> that allowed wrong<S>91</S>, but<S>235</S> that our<S>5216</S> care<S>4710</S> for<S>5228</S> you<S>2257</S> in the sight<S>1799</S> of God<S>2316</S> might be shown<S>5319</S> to<S>4314</S> you<S>5209</S>.

How that<S>3754</S> in<S>1722</S> a great<S>4183</S> trial<S>1382</S> of affliction<S>2347</S> the abundance<S>4050</S> of their<S>846</S> joy<S>5479</S> and<S>2532, 2596</S> their<S>846</S> deep<S>899</S> poverty<S>4432</S> abounded<S>4052</S> to<S>1519</S> the riches<S>4149</S> of their<S>846</S> liberality<S>572</S>.

For<S>3754</S> according to<S>2596</S> their power<S>1411</S>, I bear record<S>3140</S>, Yes<S>2532</S>, and beyond<S>5228</S> their power<S>1411</S> they gave willingly of themselves<S>830</S>;

And<S>2532</S> this they did<S>3756</S>, not only as<S>2531</S> we hoped<S>1679</S>, but<S>235</S> first<S>4412</S> gave<S>1325</S> their own selves<S>1438</S> to the Lord<S>2962</S>, then<S>2532</S> to us<S>2254</S> by<S>1223</S> the will<S>2307</S> of God<S>2316</S>.

So<S>1519</S> much that<S>3870</S> we<S>2248</S> desired<S>3870</S> Titus<S>5103</S>, that<S>2443</S> as<S>2531</S> he had begun<S>4278</S>, so<S>3779</S> he would also<S>2532</S> complete<S>2005</S> in<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S> this<S>3778</S> grace<S>5485</S> also<S>2532</S>.

For<S>1063</S> you know<S>1097</S> the grace<S>5485</S> of our<S>2257</S> Lord<S>2962</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> Christ<S>5547</S>, that<S>3754</S>, though he was<S>5607</S> rich<S>4145</S>, yet for<S>1223</S> your sakes<S>5209</S> he became poor<S>4433</S>, that<S>2443</S> you<S>5210</S> through his<S>1565</S> poverty<S>4432</S> would be rich<S>4147</S>.

And<S>2532</S> herein<S>1722, 5129</S> I give<S>1325</S> my advice<S>1106</S>: for<S>1063</S> this<S>5124</S> is expedient<S>4851</S> for you<S>5213</S>, who<S>3748</S> have begun before<S>4278</S>, not<S>3756</S> only<S>3440</S> to do<S>4160</S>, but<S>235</S> also<S>2532</S> to be willing<S>2309, 575</S> a year ago<S>4070</S>.


text:
Now<S>3570</S> therefore<S>2532</S> perform<S>2005</S> the doing<S>4160</S> of it<S>3704</S>; that as<S>2509</S> there was a readiness<S>4288</S> to will<S>2309</S>, so<S>3779</S> there may be a performance<S>2005</S> also<S>2532</S> out of<S>1537</S> that which<S>3588</S> you have<S>2192</S>.


text:
For<S>1063</S> if<S>1487</S> there is first<S>4295</S> a willing mind<S>4288</S>, it is acceptable<S>2144</S> according to what<S>2526</S> a man<S>5100</S> has<S>1437</S>, and not<S>3756</S> according to<S>2526</S> what he has<S>2192</S> not<S>3756</S>.

For<S>1063</S> I mean not<S>3756</S> that<S>2443</S> other men<S>243</S> be eased<S>425</S>, and<S>1161</S> you<S>5213</S> burdened<S>2347</S>:

As<S>2531</S> it is written<S>1125</S>, He that<S>3588</S> had gathered much<S>4183</S> had<S>4121</S> nothing<S>3756</S> over<S>4121</S>; and<S>2532</S> he that<S>3588</S> had gathered little<S>3641</S> had<S>1641</S> no<S>3756</S> lack<S>1641</S>.

But<S>1161</S> thanks<S>5485</S> be to God<S>2316</S>, which<S>3588</S> put<S>1325</S> the same<S>846</S> earnest care<S>4710</S> into<S>1722</S> the heart<S>2588</S> of Titus<S>5103</S> for<S>5228</S> you<S>5216</S>.

For<S>3754</S> indeed<S>3303</S> he accepted<S>1209</S> the exhortation<S>3874</S>; but<S>1161</S> being<S>5225</S> more earnest<S>4705</S>, of his own accord<S>830</S> he went<S>1831</S> to<S>4314</S> you<S>5209</S>.

And<S>1161</S> we have sent with<S>4842</S> them<S>846</S> our<S>2257</S> brother<S>80</S>, whom<S>3739</S> we have<S>1381</S> oftentimes<S>4178</S> proved<S>1381, Ephesians7</S> diligent<S>4705</S> in<S>1722</S> many things<S>4183</S>, but<S>1161</S> now<S>3570</S> much<S>4183</S> more diligent<S>4706</S>, upon the great<S>4183</S> confidence<S>4006</S> which<S>3588</S> I have in<S>1519</S> you<S>4706</S>.

For<S>1063</S> as touching<S>4012, Ezekiel3</S> the ministering<S>1248</S> to<S>1519</S> the saints<S>40</S>, it is<S>2076</S> superfluous<S>4053</S> for me<S>3427</S> to write<S>1125</S> to you<S>5213</S>:

Yet<S>1161</S> have I sent<S>3992</S> the brothers<S>80</S>, lest<S>2443, 3361</S> our<S>2257</S> boasting<S>2745</S> of<S>5228</S> you<S>5216</S> should be in vain<S>2758</S> in<S>1722</S> this<S>5129</S> behalf<S>3313</S>; that<S>2443</S>, as<S>2531</S> I said<S>3004</S>, you may<S>3903</S> be<S>5600</S> ready<S>3903</S>:

Therefore<S>3767</S> I thought it<S>2233</S> necessary<S>316</S> to exhort<S>3870</S> the brothers<S>80</S>, that<S>2443</S> they would go before<S>4281</S> unto<S>1519</S> you<S>5209</S>, and<S>2532</S> make up beforehand<S>4294</S> your<S>5216</S> bounty<S>2129</S>, whereof you had notice before<S>4293</S>, that the same<S>3778</S> might be<S>1511, 3779</S> ready<S>2092</S>, as<S>5613</S> a matter of bounty<S>2129</S>, and<S>2532</S> not<S>3361</S> as<S>5618</S> of covetousness<S>4124</S>.

text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> to the captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S>, If I be a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, then let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> you and your fifty<S>2572</S>. And there came down<S>3381</S> fire<S>784</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
Again<S>7725</S> also he sent<S>7971</S> unto him another<S>312</S> captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. And he answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> unto him<S>376</S>, O man of God<S>430</S>, thus has the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Come down<S>3381</S> quickly<S>4120</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>1696</S> unto them<S>376</S>, If I be a man of God<S>430</S>, let fire<S>784</S> come down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consume<S>398</S> you and your fifty<S>2572</S>. And the fire<S>784</S> of God<S>430</S> came down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> him and his fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> again<S>7725</S> a captain<S>8269</S> of the third<S>7992</S> fifty<S>2572</S> with his fifty<S>2572</S>. And the third<S>7992</S> captain<S>8269</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and came<S>935</S> and fell<S>3766</S> on his knees<S>1290</S> before<S>5048</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and begged<S>2603</S> him<S>1696</S>, and said unto him<S>376</S>, O man of God<S>430</S>, I pray you<S>5315</S>, let my life, and the life<S>5315</S> of these fifty<S>2572</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, be precious<S>3365</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3381</S>, there came fire<S>784</S> down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and burnt up<S>398</S> the two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of the former<S>7223</S> fifties<S>2572</S> with their fifties<S>2572</S>: therefore let my life<S>5315</S> now be precious<S>3365</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>1696</S> unto Elijah<S>452</S>, Go down<S>3381</S> with him<S>3372</S>: be not afraid of him<S>6440</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> with him unto the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S>, Forasmuch as you have sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of Baal<S>1176</S>–zebub the god<S>430</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>, is it not because there is no God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of his word<S>1697</S>? therefore you shall not come down<S>3381</S> off that bed<S>4296</S> on which you are gone up<S>5927</S>, but shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
So he died<S>4191</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which Elijah<S>452</S> had spoken<S>1696</S>. And Jehoram<S>3088</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his stead in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; because he had no son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> had seventy<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>. And Jehu<S>3058</S> wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, unto the rulers<S>8269</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>, to the elders<S>2205</S>, and to them that brought up<S>539</S> Ahab<S>256</S>'s sons<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
Now as soon as this letter<S>5612</S> comes<S>935</S> to you<S>113</S>, seeing your master's sons<S>1121</S> are with you<S>7393</S>, and there are with you chariots and horses<S>5483</S>, a fortified<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S> also<S>5402</S>, and armor;


text:
Look even out<S>7200</S> the best<S>2896</S> and meet<S>3477</S> of your master<S>113</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and set<S>7760</S> him on his father<S>1</S>'s throne<S>3678</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> for your master<S>113</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But they were exceedingly<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>8147</S>, two kings<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> not before<S>6440</S> him<S>5975</S>: how then shall we stand?


text:
And he that was over the house<S>1004</S>, and he that was over the city<S>5892</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> also<S>539</S>, and the bringers up of the sons<S>7971</S>, sent to Jehu<S>3058</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We are your servants<S>5650</S>, and will do<S>6213</S> all that you shall bid<S>559</S> us<S>376</S>; we will not make any king<S>4427</S>: do<S>6213</S> you that which is good<S>2896</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Then he wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> the second time<S>8145</S> to them<S>559</S>, saying, If you be mine<S>8085</S>, and if you will listen unto my voice<S>6963</S>, take<S>3947</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of the men<S>582</S> your master<S>113</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and come<S>935</S> to me to Jezreel<S>3157</S> by to morrow<S>4279</S> this time<S>6256</S>. Now the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, being seventy<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, were with the great men<S>1419</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, which brought them up<S>1431</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>5612</S>, when the letter came<S>935</S> to them<S>3947</S>, that they took the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> seventy<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, and put<S>7760</S> their heads<S>7218</S> in baskets<S>1731</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> him them to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>4397</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, They have brought<S>935</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Lay<S>7760</S> them in two<S>8147</S> heaps<S>6652</S> at the entering in<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, that he went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S>, and said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, You be righteous<S>6662</S>: behold<S>7194</S>, I conspired against my master<S>113</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> him<S>5221</S>: but who killed all these?


text:
Know<S>3045</S> now<S>645</S> that there shall fall<S>5307</S> unto the earth<S>776</S> nothing of the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> concerning the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> that which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> killed<S>5221</S> all that remained<S>7604</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and all his great men<S>1419</S>, and his kinsfolks<S>3045</S>, and his priests<S>3548</S>, until he left<S>7604</S> him none remaining<S>8300</S>.


text:
And he arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>935</S>, and came<S>3212</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>. And as he was at the shearing<S>7462</S> house<S>1004</S> in the way<S>1870</S>,


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> met<S>4672</S> with the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Who are you<S>559</S>? And they answered, We are the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>; and we go down<S>3381</S> to greet<S>7965</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and the sons<S>1121</S> of the queen<S>1377</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>. And they took<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> them at the pit<S>953</S> of the shearing house<S>1044</S>, even two<S>8147</S> and forty<S>705</S> men<S>376</S>; neither left<S>7604</S> he any of them<S>376</S>.


text:
And when he was departed<S>3212</S> there<S>4672</S>, he alighted on Jehonadab<S>3082</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab<S>7394</S> coming to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>1288</S>: and he greeted him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>3426</S>, Is your heart<S>3824</S> right<S>3477</S>, as my heart<S>3824</S> is with your heart<S>3824</S>? And Jehonadab<S>3082</S> answered<S>559</S>, It is<S>3426</S>. If it be<S>5414</S>, give me your hand<S>3027</S>. And he gave<S>5414</S> him his hand<S>3027</S>; and he took him up<S>5927</S> to him into the chariot<S>4818</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Come<S>3212</S> with me<S>7200</S>, and see my zeal<S>7068</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S>. So they made him ride<S>7392</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, he killed<S>5221</S> all that remained<S>7604</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, until he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him<S>1697</S>, according to the saying of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>6908</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>256</S>, Ahab served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S> a little<S>4592</S>; but Jehu<S>3058</S> shall serve<S>5647</S> him much<S>7235</S>.


text:
Now therefore call<S>7121</S> unto me all the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, all his servants<S>5647</S>, and all his priests<S>3548</S>; let none<S>376</S> be wanting<S>6485</S>: for I have a great<S>1419</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> to do to Baal<S>1168</S>; whoever shall be wanting<S>6485</S>, he shall not live<S>2421</S>. But Jehu<S>3058</S> did<S>6213</S> it in subtly<S>6122</S>, to the intent that he might destroy<S>6</S> the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, Proclaim<S>6942</S> a solemn assembly<S>6116</S> for Baal<S>1168</S>. And they proclaimed it<S>7121</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> sent<S>7971</S> through all Israel<S>3478</S>: and all the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> came<S>935</S>, so that there was not a man<S>376</S> left<S>7604</S> that came<S>935</S> not<S>935</S>. And they came into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>; and the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> was full<S>4390</S> from one end<S>6310</S> to another<S>6310</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him that was over the vestry<S>4458</S>, Bring forth<S>3318</S> vestments<S>3830</S> for all the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>. And he brought them forth<S>3318</S> vestments<S>4403</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> went<S>935</S>, and Jehonadab<S>3082</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Rechab<S>7394</S>, into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, Search<S>2664</S>, and look<S>7200</S> that there be<S>3426</S> here with you none of the servants<S>5650</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, but the worshippers<S>5647</S> of Baal only<S>1168</S>.


text:
And when they went in<S>935</S> to offer<S>6213</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S> appointed<S>7760</S> eighty<S>8084</S> men<S>376</S> outside<S>2351</S>, and said<S>559</S>, If any<S>376</S> of the men<S>582</S> whom I have brought<S>935</S> into your hands<S>3027</S> escape<S>4422</S>, he that lets him go<S>5315</S>, his life shall be for the life of him<S>5315</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had made a end of offering<S>6213</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, that Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S> to the guard<S>7323</S> and to the captains<S>7991</S>, Go in<S>935</S>, and kill<S>5221</S> them<S>376</S>; let none come forth<S>3318</S>. And they struck<S>5221</S> them with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; and the guard<S>7323</S> and the captains<S>7991</S> cast them out<S>7993</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>.


text:
And they brought forth<S>3318</S> the images<S>4676</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and burned them<S>8313</S>.


text:
And they broke down<S>5422</S> the image<S>4676</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke down<S>5422</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and made<S>7760</S> it a toilet house<S>4163</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But from the sins<S>2399</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S> departed<S>5493</S> not from after<S>310</S> them<S>2091</S>, to know, the golden calves<S>5695</S> that were in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and that were in Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehu<S>3058</S>, Because you have done well<S>2895</S> in executing<S>6213</S> that which is right<S>3477</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>, and have done<S>6213</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> according to all that was in my heart<S>3824</S>, your sons<S>1121</S> of the fourth<S>7243</S> generation shall sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But Jehu<S>3058</S> took no care<S>8104</S> to walk<S>3212</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with all his heart<S>3824</S>: for he departed<S>5493</S> not from the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, which made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> to cut<S>7096</S> Israel<S>3478</S> short<S>7096</S>: and Hazael<S>2371</S> struck<S>5221</S> them in all the coasts<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
From Jordan<S>3383</S> eastward<S>4217</S>, all the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, the Gadites<S>1425</S>, and the Reubenites<S>7206</S>, and the Manassites<S>4520</S>, from Aroer<S>6177</S>, which is by the river<S>5158</S> Arnon<S>769</S>, even Gilead<S>1568</S> and Bashan<S>1316</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>: and they buried<S>6912</S> him in Samaria<S>8111</S>. And Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
And the time<S>3117</S> that Jehu<S>3058</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And when Athaliah<S>6271</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> saw<S>7200</S> that her son<S>1121</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she arose<S>6965</S> and destroyed<S>6</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> royal<S>4467</S>.


text:
But Jehosheba<S>3089</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of king<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3141</S>, sister<S>269</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, took<S>3947</S> Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and stole<S>1589</S> him from among<S>8432</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> which were slain<S>4191</S>; and they hid<S>5641</S> him<S>3243</S>, even him and his nurse, in the bedroom<S>2315</S> from<S>6440</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S>, so that he was not slain<S>4191</S>.

And he was with her hid<S>2244</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>. And Athaliah<S>6271</S> did reign<S>4427</S> over the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> Jehoiada<S>3077</S> sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> the rulers<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S>, with the captains<S>3746</S> and the guard<S>7323</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to him into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with them<S>7650</S>, and took a oath of them in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and showed<S>7200</S> them the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And he commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, This is the thing<S>1697</S> that you shall do<S>6213</S>; A third part<S>7992</S> of you that enter in<S>935</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S> shall even be keepers<S>8104</S> of the watch<S>4931</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>;


text:
And a third part<S>7992</S> shall be at the gate<S>8179</S> of Sur<S>5495</S>; and a third part<S>7992</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> behind<S>310</S> the guard<S>7323</S>: so shall you keep<S>8104</S> the watch<S>4931</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, that it be not broken down<S>4535</S>.


text:
And two<S>8147</S> parts<S>3027</S> of all you that go forth<S>3318</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, even they shall keep<S>8104</S> the watch<S>4931</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> about<S>413</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And you shall compass<S>5362</S> the king<S>4428</S> round about<S>5439</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>: and he that comes<S>935</S> inside the ranges<S>7713</S>, let him be slain<S>4191</S>: and be you with the king<S>4428</S> as he goes out<S>3318</S> and as he comes in<S>935</S>.


text:
And the captains<S>8269</S> over the hundreds<S>3967</S> did<S>6213</S> according to all things that Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded<S>6680</S>: and they took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his men<S>582</S> that were to come in<S>935</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, with them that should go out<S>3318</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
And to the captains<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S> did the priest<S>3548</S> give<S>5414</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>'s spears<S>2595</S> and shields<S>7982</S>, that were in the temple<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the guard<S>7323</S> stood<S>5975</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, round about<S>5439</S> the king<S>4428</S>, from the right<S>3233</S> corner<S>3802</S> of the temple<S>1004</S> to the left<S>8042</S> corner<S>3802</S> of the temple<S>1004</S>, along by the altar<S>4196</S> and the temple<S>1004</S>.


text:
And he brought forth<S>3318</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, and put<S>5414</S> the crown<S>5145</S> upon him<S>5715</S>, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king<S>4427</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him<S>5221</S>; and they clapped their hands<S>3709</S>, and said<S>559</S>, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And when Athaliah<S>6271</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the guard<S>7323</S> and of the people<S>5971</S>, she came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> into the temple<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when she looked<S>7200</S>, behold<S>4428</S>, the king stood<S>5975</S> by a pillar<S>5982</S>, as the manner<S>4941</S> was<S>8269</S>, and the princes and the trumpeters<S>2689</S> by the king<S>4428</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8056</S>, and blew<S>8628</S> with trumpets<S>2689</S>: and Athaliah<S>6271</S> tore<S>7167</S> her clothes<S>899</S>, and cried<S>7121</S>, Treason<S>7195</S>, Treason<S>7195</S>.


text:
But Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of the hundreds<S>3967</S>, the officers<S>6485</S> of the army<S>2428</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3318</S>, Bring her forth outside<S>1004</S> the ranks<S>7713</S>: and he that follows<S>935</S> her kill<S>4191</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>. For the priest<S>3548</S> had said<S>559</S>, Let her not be slain<S>4191</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they laid<S>7760</S> hands<S>3027</S> on her<S>935</S>; and she went by the way<S>1870</S> by the which the horses<S>5483</S> came<S>3996</S> into the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and there was she slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jehoiada<S>3077</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> between the Lord<S>3068</S> and the king<S>4428</S> and the people<S>5971</S>, that they should be the Lord<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S>; between the king<S>4428</S> also and the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke it down<S>5422</S>; his altars<S>4196</S> and his images<S>6754</S> broke they in pieces<S>7665</S> thoroughly<S>3190</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> Mattan<S>4977</S> the priest<S>3548</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> before<S>6440</S> the altars<S>4196</S>. And the priest<S>3548</S> appointed<S>7760</S> officers<S>6485</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the rulers<S>8269</S> over hundreds<S>3967</S>, and the captains<S>3746</S>, and the guard<S>7323</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>; and they brought down<S>3381</S> the king<S>4428</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and came<S>935</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the guard<S>7323</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>. And he sat<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> was in quiet<S>8252</S>: and they killed<S>4191</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S> with the sword<S>2719</S> beside the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Jehoash<S>3060</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>; and forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zibiah<S>6645</S> of Beer<S>884</S>–sheba.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> all his days<S>3117</S> where Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> instructed him<S>3384</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: the people<S>5971</S> still sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> said<S>559</S> to the priests<S>3548</S>, All the money<S>3701</S> of the dedicated things<S>6944</S> that is brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, even the money<S>3701</S> of every one<S>376</S> that passes<S>5674</S> the account<S>3701</S>, the money that every man<S>5315</S> is set at<S>6187</S>, and all the money<S>3701</S> that comes<S>5927</S> into any man<S>376</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> to bring<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
Let the priests<S>3548</S> take<S>3947</S> it to them<S>376</S>, every man of his acquaintance<S>4378</S>: and let them repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, wheresoever any breach<S>919</S> shall be found<S>4672</S>.


text:
But it was so<S>7969</S>, that in the three and twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> the priests<S>3548</S> had not repaired<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Jehoash<S>3060</S> called<S>7121</S> for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and the other priests<S>3548</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2388</S>, Why repair you not the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>? now therefore receive<S>3947</S> no more money<S>3701</S> of your acquaintance<S>4378</S>, but deliver<S>5414</S> it for the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> consented<S>225</S> to receive<S>3947</S> no<S>1115</S> more money<S>3701</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, neither<S>1115</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> chest<S>727</S>, and bored<S>5344</S> a hole<S>2356</S> in the lid<S>1817</S> of it<S>5414</S>, and set it beside<S>681</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, on the right side<S>3225</S> as one<S>376</S> comes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and the priests<S>3548</S> that kept<S>8104</S> the door<S>5592</S> put<S>5414</S> in it all the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>7200</S>, when they saw that there was much<S>7227</S> money<S>3701</S> in the chest<S>727</S>, that the king<S>4428</S>'s scribe<S>5608</S> and the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and they put up in bags<S>6696</S>, and told<S>4487</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they gave<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S>, being told<S>8505</S>, into the hands<S>3027</S> of them that did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S>, that had the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and they laid it out<S>3318</S> to the carpenters<S>2796</S> and builders<S>1129</S>, that done<S>6213</S> upon the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
And to masons<S>1443</S>, and hewers<S>2672</S> of stone<S>68</S>, and to buy<S>7069</S> timber<S>6086</S> and hewed<S>4274</S> stone<S>68</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and for all that was laid out<S>3318</S> for the house<S>1004</S> to repair it<S>2394</S>.


text:
But there were not made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> bowls<S>5592</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, snuffers<S>4212</S>, basins<S>4219</S>, trumpets<S>2689</S>, any vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, or vessels<S>3627</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, of the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>:


text:
But they gave<S>5414</S> that to the workmen<S>4399</S>, and repaired<S>2388</S> with it the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Moreover they reckoned<S>2803</S> not with the men<S>582</S>, into whose hand<S>3027</S> they delivered<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> to be bestowed<S>5414</S> on workmen<S>4399</S>: for they dealt<S>6213</S> faithfully<S>530</S>.


text:
The trespass<S>817</S> money<S>3701</S> and sin<S>2403</S> money<S>3701</S> was not brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: it was the priests<S>3548</S>'.


text:
Then Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against Gath<S>1661</S>, and took<S>3920</S> it<S>2371</S>: and Hazael set<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> to go up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3947</S> all the hallowed things<S>6944</S> that Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, and Jehoram<S>3088</S>, and Ahaziah<S>274</S>, his fathers<S>1</S>, kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, had dedicated<S>6942</S>, and his own hallowed things<S>6944</S>, and all the gold<S>2091</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it to Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>: and he went away<S>5927</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> Joash<S>3101</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Millo<S>4407</S>, which goes down<S>3381</S> to Silla<S>5538</S>.


text:
For Jozachar<S>3108</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeath<S>8100</S>, and Jehozabad<S>3075</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shomer<S>7763</S>, his servants<S>5650</S>, struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and he died; and they buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Amaziah<S>558</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the three<S>7969</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and reigned seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, which made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>; he departed not therefrom<S>5493</S>.


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad the son<S>1121</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S>, all their days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> begged<S>2470</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> listened<S>8085</S> unto<S>6440</S> him<S>7200</S>: for he saw the oppression<S>3906</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, because the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> oppressed them<S>3905</S>.


text:
(And the Lord<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> a savior<S>3467</S>, so that they went out<S>3318</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>: and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lived<S>3427</S> in their tents<S>168</S>, as previously<S>8032</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they departed<S>5493</S> not from the sins<S>2403</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> sin<S>2398</S>, but walked<S>1980</S> in it<S>5975</S>: and there remained the grove<S>842</S> also in Samaria<S>8111</S>.)

Neither did he leave<S>7604</S> of the people<S>5971</S> to Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> but fifty<S>2572</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>; for the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> had destroyed<S>6</S> them<S>7760</S>, and had made them like the dust<S>6083</S> by threshing<S>1758</S>.

Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

And Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in Samaria<S>8111</S>: and Joash<S>3101</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.

In the thirty<S>7970</S> and seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Jehoash<S>3060</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and reigned sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; he departed<S>5493</S> not from all the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> sin<S>2398</S>: but he walked in it<S>1980</S>.

And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> with which he fought<S>3898</S> against Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

And Joash<S>3101</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon his throne<S>3678</S>: and Joash<S>3101</S> was buried<S>6912</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> with the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now Elisha<S>477</S> was fallen sick<S>2470</S> of his sickness<S>2483</S> whereof he died<S>4191</S>. And Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came down<S>3381</S> unto him<S>1058</S>, and wept over his face<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O my father<S>1</S>, my father<S>1</S>, the chariot<S>7393</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the horsemen there<S>6571</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3947</S>, Take bow<S>7198</S> and arrows<S>2671</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> unto him bow<S>7198</S> and arrows<S>2671</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Put<S>7392</S> your hand<S>3027</S> upon the bow<S>7198</S>. And he put<S>7392</S> his hand<S>3027</S> upon it<S>477</S>: and Elisha put<S>7760</S> his hands<S>3027</S> upon the king<S>4428</S>'s hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Open<S>6605</S> the light<S>2474</S> eastward<S>6924</S>. And he opened<S>6605</S> it<S>477</S>. Then Elisha said<S>559</S>, Shoot<S>3384</S>. And he shot<S>3384</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, The arrow<S>2671</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>'s deliverance<S>8668</S>, and the arrow<S>2671</S> of deliverance<S>8668</S> from Syria<S>758</S>: for you shall strike<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>, until you have consumed them<S>3615</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> them<S>559</S>. And he said unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Strike<S>5221</S> upon the ground<S>776</S>. And he struck<S>5221</S> thrice<S>7969</S>, and stayed<S>5975</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> was angry<S>7107</S> with him<S>559</S>, and said, You should have struck<S>5221</S> five<S>2568</S> or six<S>8337</S> times<S>6471</S>; then had you struck<S>5221</S> Syria<S>758</S> until you had consumed<S>3615</S> it<S>5221</S>: whereas now you shall strike Syria<S>758</S> but thrice<S>7969</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> died<S>4191</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him<S>1416</S>. And the bands of the Moabites<S>4124</S> invaded<S>935</S> the land<S>776</S> at the coming in<S>935</S> of the year<S>8141</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>6912</S>, as they were burying a man<S>376</S>, that<S>7200</S>, behold, they spied a band<S>1416</S> of men<S>7993</S>; and they cast the man<S>376</S> into the tomb<S>6913</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>: and when the man<S>376</S> was let down<S>3212</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>, he revived<S>2421</S>, and stood up<S>6965</S> on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
But Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> oppressed<S>3905</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> was gracious<S>2603</S> unto them<S>7355</S>, and had compassion on them<S>6437</S>, and had respect unto them<S>4616</S>, because of his covenant<S>1285</S> with Abraham<S>85</S>, Isaac<S>3327</S>, and Jacob<S>3290</S>, and would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> them<S>7993</S>, neither cast he them from his presence<S>6440</S> as yet<S>5704</S>.


text:
So Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> died<S>4191</S>; and Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> took<S>3947</S> again<S>7725</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad the son<S>1121</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, which he had taken<S>3947</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> his father<S>1</S> by war<S>4421</S>. Three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S> did Joash<S>3101</S> beat<S>5221</S> him<S>7725</S>, and recovered the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
In the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3099</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> reigned<S>4427</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He was twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jehoaddan<S>3086</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, yet<S>7535</S> not like David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: he did<S>6213</S> according to all things as Joash<S>3101</S> his father<S>1</S> did<S>6213</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: as yet<S>5750</S> the people<S>5971</S> did sacrifice<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> on the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4467</S>, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed<S>2388</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, that he killed<S>5221</S> his servants<S>5650</S> which had slain<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
But the sons<S>1121</S> of the murderers<S>5221</S> he killed<S>4191</S> not<S>3789</S>: according unto that which is written in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, where the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The fathers<S>1</S> shall not be put to death<S>4191</S> for the sons<S>1121</S>, nor the sons<S>1121</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> for the fathers<S>1</S>; but every man<S>376</S> shall be put to death<S>4191</S> for his own sin<S>2399</S>.


text:
He killed<S>5221</S> of Edom<S>123</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of salt<S>4417</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and took<S>8610</S> Selah<S>5554</S> by war<S>4421</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of it Joktheel<S>3371</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Amaziah<S>558</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Jehoash<S>3060</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, let us look<S>7200</S> one another in the face<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The thistle<S>2336</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the cedar<S>730</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> your daughter<S>1323</S> to my son<S>1121</S> to wife<S>802</S>: and there passed<S>5674</S> by a wild<S>7704</S> animal<S>2416</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and trod down<S>7429</S> the thistle<S>2336</S>.


text:
You have indeed<S>5221</S> struck<S>5221</S> Edom<S>123</S>, and your heart<S>3820</S> has lifted you up<S>5375</S>: glory<S>3513</S> of this<S>3427</S>, and stay at home<S>1004</S>: for why should you meddle<S>1624</S> to your hurt<S>7451</S>, that you should fall<S>5307</S>, even you<S>3063</S>, and Judah with you?


text:
But Amaziah<S>558</S> would not hear<S>8085</S>. Therefore Jehoash<S>3060</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S>; and he and Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> looked<S>7200</S> one another in the face<S>6440</S> at Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> was put to the worse<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to their tents<S>168</S>.


text:
And Jehoash<S>3060</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> took<S>8610</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoash<S>3060</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, at Beth<S>1053</S>–shemesh, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and broke down<S>6555</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the gate<S>8179</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> unto the corner<S>6438</S> gate<S>8179</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> all the gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and hostages<S>1121</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoash<S>3060</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, and how he fought<S>3898</S> with Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

text:
And Amaziah<S>558</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> lived<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Jehoash<S>3060</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fifteen<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S>.

Now they made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S> against him in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he fled<S>5127</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S>; but they sent<S>7971</S> after<S>310</S> him to Lachish<S>3923</S>, and killed him there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And they brought<S>5375</S> him on horses<S>5483</S>: and he was buried<S>6912</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3947</S> Azariah<S>5838</S>, which was sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> instead of his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> Elath<S>359</S>, and restored<S>7725</S> it to Judah<S>3063</S>, after<S>310</S> that the king<S>4428</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>.

In the fifteenth<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Amaziah<S>558</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and reigned forty<S>705</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S>.

And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: he departed<S>5493</S> not from all the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.

He restored<S>7725</S> the coast<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from the entering<S>935</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> unto the sea<S>3220</S> of the plain<S>6160</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of his servant<S>5650</S> Jonah<S>3124</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Amittai<S>573</S>, the prophet<S>5030</S>, which was of Gath<S>1662</S>–hepher.


text:
For the Lord<S>3068</S> saw<S>7200</S> the affliction<S>6040</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that it was very<S>3966</S> bitter<S>4784</S>: for there was not<S>657</S> any shut up<S>6113</S>, nor any left<S>5800</S>, nor any helper<S>5826</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>.

And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>1696</S> not that he would blot out<S>4229</S> the name<S>8034</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from under heaven<S>8064</S>: but he saved<S>3467</S> them by the hand<S>3027</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>.

Sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jecholiah<S>3203</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> had done<S>6213</S>;


text:
Save that the high places<S>1116</S> were not removed<S>5493</S>: the people<S>5971</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> still on the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5060</S> the king<S>4428</S>, so that he was a leper<S>6879</S> unto the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> in a separate<S>2669</S> house<S>1004</S>. And Jotham<S>3147</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S> was over the house<S>1004</S>, judging<S>8199</S> the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
So Azariah<S>5838</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Jotham<S>3147</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> and eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did Zachariah<S>2148</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as his fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>: he departed<S>5493</S> not from the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>5221</S>, and struck him before<S>6905</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his place.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Zachariah<S>2148</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
This was the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S> unto Jehu<S>3058</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Your sons<S>1121</S> shall sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> unto the fourth generation<S>7243</S>. And so it came to pass.


text:
Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> in the nine<S>8672</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of Uzziah<S>5818</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> a full<S>3117</S> month<S>3391</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
For Menahem<S>4505</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gadi<S>1424</S> went up<S>5927</S> from Tirzah<S>8656</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his place.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S>, and his conspiracy<S>7195</S> which he made<S>7194</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then Menahem<S>4505</S> struck<S>5221</S> Tiphsah<S>8607</S>, and all that were in it<S>1366</S>, and the coasts there from Tirzah<S>8656</S>: because they opened<S>6605</S> not to him<S>5221</S>, therefore he struck it<S>2030</S>; and all the women in it that were with child he ripped up<S>1234</S>.


text:
In the nine<S>8672</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Menahem<S>4505</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gadi<S>1424</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and reigned ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: he departed<S>5493</S> not all his days<S>3117</S> from the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Pul<S>6322</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came<S>935</S> against the land<S>776</S>: and Menahem<S>4505</S> gave<S>5414</S> Pul<S>6322</S> a thousand<S>505</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, that his hand<S>3027</S> might be with him to confirm<S>2388</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Menahem<S>4505</S> exacted<S>3318</S> the money<S>3701</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, even of all the mighty men<S>1368</S> of wealth<S>2428</S>, of each<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, to give<S>5414</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> turned back<S>7725</S>, and stayed<S>5975</S> not there in the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Menahem<S>4505</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

And Menahem<S>4505</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Pekahiah<S>6494</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.

text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: he departed<S>5493</S> not from the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.

But Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S>, a captain<S>7991</S> of his<S>7194</S>, conspired against him<S>5221</S>, and struck him in Samaria<S>8111</S>, in the palace<S>759</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, with Argob<S>709</S> and Arieh<S>745</S>, and with him fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> of the Gileadites<S>1121</S>: and he killed<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his room.

Five<S>2568</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.

Twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaz<S>271</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and did<S>6213</S> not that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, like David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.

But he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Yes<S>1121</S>, and made his son to pass through<S>5674</S> the fire<S>784</S>, according to the abominations<S>8441</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Then Rezin<S>7526</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> and Pekah<S>6492</S> son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to war<S>4421</S>: and they besieged<S>6696</S> Ahaz<S>271</S>, but could<S>3201</S> not overcome him<S>3898</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Rezin<S>7526</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> recovered<S>7725</S> Elath<S>359</S> to Syria<S>758</S>, and drove<S>5394</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> from Elath<S>359</S>: and the Syrians<S>726</S> came<S>935</S> to Elath<S>359</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> there unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Ahaz<S>271</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Tiglath<S>8407</S>–pileser king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I am your servant<S>5650</S> and your son<S>1121</S>: come up<S>5927</S>, and save<S>3467</S> me out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which rise up against me<S>6965</S>.


text:
And Ahaz<S>271</S> took<S>3947</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it for a present<S>7810</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> listened<S>8085</S> unto him<S>4428</S>: for the king of Assyria<S>804</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Damascus<S>1834</S>, and took<S>8610</S> it<S>1540</S>, and carried the people of it captive to Kir<S>7024</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> Rezin<S>7526</S>.

And king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> went<S>3212</S> to Damascus<S>1834</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Tiglath<S>8407</S>–pileser king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> a altar<S>4196</S> that was at Damascus<S>1834</S>: and king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> the fashion<S>1823</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>, and the pattern<S>8403</S> of it<S>4639</S>, according to all the workmanship there.


text:
And Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> built<S>1129</S> a altar<S>4196</S> according to all that king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> had sent<S>7971</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>: so Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S> made<S>6213</S> it against king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> came<S>935</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>.

And when the king<S>4428</S> was come<S>935</S> from Damascus<S>1834</S>, the king<S>4428</S> saw<S>7200</S> the altar<S>4196</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> approached<S>7126</S> to the altar<S>4196</S>, and offered on it<S>5927</S>.


text:
And he burnt<S>6999</S> his burnt offering<S>5930</S> and his food offering<S>4503</S>, and poured<S>5258</S> his drink offering<S>5262</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of his peace offerings<S>8002</S>, upon the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>7126</S> also the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S>, which was before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, from the forefront<S>6440</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, from between the altar<S>4196</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and put<S>5414</S> it on the north<S>6828</S> side<S>3409</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>.

And king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Upon the great<S>1419</S> altar<S>4196</S> burn<S>6999</S> the morning<S>1242</S> burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and the evening<S>6153</S> food offering<S>4503</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s burnt sacrifice<S>5930</S>, and his food offering<S>4503</S>, with the burnt offering<S>5930</S> of all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and their food offering<S>4503</S>, and their drink offerings<S>5262</S>; and sprinkle<S>2236</S> upon it all the blood<S>1818</S> of the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and all the blood<S>1818</S> of the sacrifice<S>2077</S>: and the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> shall be for me to inquire by<S>1239</S>.


text:
Thus did<S>6213</S> Urijah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, according to all that king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> commanded<S>6680</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> cut off<S>7112</S> the borders<S>4526</S> of the bases<S>4350</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> the basin<S>3595</S> from off them<S>3381</S>; and took down the sea<S>3220</S> from off the bronze<S>5178</S> oxen<S>1241</S> that were under it<S>5414</S>, and put it upon a pavement<S>4837</S> of stones<S>68</S>.


text:
And the covert<S>4329</S> for the sabbath<S>7676</S> that they had built<S>1129</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s entry<S>3996</S> outside<S>2435</S>, turned<S>5437</S> he from the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> for<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And Ahaz<S>271</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Hezekiah<S>2396</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the twelfth<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Hoshea<S>1954</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> to reign<S>4427</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, but not as the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
Against him came up<S>5927</S> Shalmaneser<S>8022</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>; and Hoshea<S>1954</S> became his servant<S>5650</S>, and gave<S>7725</S> him presents<S>4503</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> found<S>4672</S> conspiracy<S>7195</S> in Hoshea<S>1954</S>: for he had sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to So<S>5471</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> no present<S>4503</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, as he had done year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>: therefore the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> shut him up<S>6113</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him in prison<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came up<S>5927</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> it three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
In the ninth<S>8671</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> took<S>3920</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and carried<S>1540</S> Israel<S>3478</S> away<S>1540</S> into Assyria<S>804</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> them in Halah<S>2477</S> and in Habor<S>2249</S> by the river<S>5104</S> of Gozan<S>1470</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Medes<S>4074</S>.


text:
For so it was<S>1121</S>, that the sons of Israel<S>3478</S> had sinned<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, which had brought them up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and had feared<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>,


text:
And walked<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which they had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did secretly<S>2644</S> those things<S>1697</S> that were not right against the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and they built<S>1129</S> them high places<S>1116</S> in all their cities<S>5892</S>, from the tower<S>4026</S> of the watchmen<S>5341</S> to the fenced<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And they set them up<S>5324</S> images<S>4676</S> and groves<S>842</S> in every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>:


text:
And there they burnt incense<S>6999</S> in all the high places<S>1116</S>, as did the heathen<S>1471</S> whom the Lord<S>3068</S> carried away<S>1540</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>6213</S>; and done wicked<S>7451</S> things<S>1697</S> to provoke the Lord<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>:


text:
For they served<S>5647</S> idols<S>1544</S>, whereof the Lord<S>3068</S> had said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6213</S>, You shall not do this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Yet the Lord<S>3068</S> testified<S>5749</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and against Judah<S>3063</S>, by<S>3027</S> all the prophets<S>5030</S>, and by all the seers<S>2374</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Turn<S>7725</S> you from your evil<S>7451</S> ways<S>1870</S>, and keep<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S>, according to all the law<S>8451</S> which I commanded<S>6680</S> your fathers<S>1</S>, and which I sent<S>7971</S> to you by<S>3027</S> my servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they would not hear<S>8085</S>, but hardened<S>7185</S> their necks<S>6203</S>, like to the neck<S>6203</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, that did not believe<S>539</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
And they rejected<S>3988</S> his statutes<S>2706</S>, and his covenant<S>1285</S> that he made<S>3772</S> with their fathers<S>1</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S> which he testified<S>5749</S> against them<S>3212</S>; and they followed vanity<S>1892</S>, and became vain<S>1891</S>, and went after<S>310</S> the heathen<S>1471</S> that were round about<S>5439</S> them<S>3068</S>, concerning whom the Lord had commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>6213</S>, that they should not do like them.


text:
And they left<S>5800</S> all the commandments<S>4687</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and made<S>6213</S> them molten images<S>4541</S>, even two<S>8147</S> calves<S>5695</S>, and made<S>6213</S> a grove<S>842</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>.


text:
And they caused their sons<S>1121</S> and their daughters<S>1323</S> to pass<S>5674</S> through the fire<S>784</S>, and used<S>7080</S> divination<S>7081</S> and enchantments<S>5172</S>, and sold<S>4376</S> themselves to do<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>599</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>: there was none left<S>7604</S> but the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah only<S>3063</S>.


text:
Also Judah<S>3063</S> kept<S>8104</S> not the commandments<S>4687</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, but walked<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> which they made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> rejected<S>3988</S> all the seed<S>2233</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S> them<S>5414</S>, and delivered them into the hand<S>3027</S> of spoilers<S>8154</S>, until he had cast<S>7993</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he tore<S>7167</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and they made Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> king<S>4427</S>: and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> drove<S>5080</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from following<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and made them sin<S>2398</S> a great<S>1419</S> sin<S>2401</S>.


text:
For the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> walked<S>3212</S> in all the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> which he did<S>6213</S>; they departed not from them<S>5493</S>;


text:
Until the Lord<S>3068</S> removed<S>5493</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of his sight<S>6440</S>, as he had said<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> all his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>. So was Israel<S>3478</S> carried away<S>1540</S> out of their own land<S>127</S> to Assyria<S>804</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> brought<S>935</S> men from Babylon<S>894</S>, and from Cuthah<S>3575</S>, and from Ava<S>5755</S>, and from Hamath<S>2574</S>, and from Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> them in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> instead of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and they possessed<S>3423</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> in the cities there<S>5892</S>.


text:
And so it was at the beginning<S>8462</S> of their living<S>3427</S> there<S>3372</S>, that they feared not the Lord<S>3068</S>: therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them<S>2026</S>, which killed some of them.


text:
Therefore they spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The nations<S>1471</S> which you have removed<S>1540</S>, and placed<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, know<S>3045</S> not the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>: therefore he has sent<S>7971</S> lions<S>738</S> among them<S>4191</S>, and, behold, they kill them<S>3045</S>, because they know not the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Carry<S>3212</S> there one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> whom you brought<S>1540</S> from there<S>3212</S>; and let them go and live<S>3427</S> there<S>3384</S>, and let him teach them the manner<S>4941</S> of the God<S>430</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Then one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> whom they had carried away<S>1540</S> from Samaria<S>8111</S> came<S>935</S> and lived<S>3427</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and taught<S>3384</S> them how they should fear<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But every nation<S>1471</S> made<S>6213</S> gods<S>430</S> of their own<S>3240</S>, and put them in the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which the Samaritans<S>8118</S> had made<S>6213</S>, every nation<S>1471</S> in their cities<S>5892</S> where they lived<S>3427</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> made<S>6213</S> Succoth<S>5524</S>–benoth, and the men<S>582</S> of Cuth<S>3575</S> made<S>6213</S> Nergal<S>5370</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> made<S>6213</S> Ashima<S>807</S>,


text:
And the Avites<S>5757</S> made<S>6213</S> Nibhaz<S>5026</S> and Tartak<S>8662</S>, and the Sepharvites<S>5616</S> burnt<S>8313</S> their sons<S>1121</S> in fire<S>784</S> to Adrammelech<S>152</S> and Anammelech<S>6048</S>, the gods<S>430</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>.


text:
So they feared<S>3373</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and made<S>6213</S> unto themselves of the lowest<S>7098</S> of them priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>, which sacrificed<S>6213</S> for them in the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
They feared<S>3373</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their own gods<S>430</S>, after the manner<S>4941</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> whom they carried away from there<S>1540</S>.


text:
Unto this day<S>3117</S> they do<S>6213</S> after the former<S>7223</S> manners<S>4941</S>: they fear<S>3373</S> not the Lord<S>3068</S>, neither do<S>6213</S> they after their statutes<S>2708</S>, or after their ordinances<S>4941</S>, or after the law<S>8451</S> and commandment<S>4687</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, whom he named<S>7760</S> Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
With whom the Lord<S>3068</S> had made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, and commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, You shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, nor bow<S>7812</S> yourselves to them<S>5647</S>, nor serve them<S>2076</S>, nor sacrifice to them:


text:
But the Lord<S>3068</S>, who brought you up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> with great<S>1419</S> power<S>3581</S> and a stretched out<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>, him shall you fear<S>3372</S>, and him shall you worship<S>7812</S>, and to him shall you do sacrifice<S>2076</S>.


text:
And the statutes<S>2706</S>, and the ordinances<S>4941</S>, and the law<S>8451</S>, and the commandment<S>4687</S>, which he wrote<S>3789</S> for you<S>8104</S>, you shall observe to do<S>6213</S> for evermore<S>3117</S>; and you shall not fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And the covenant<S>1285</S> that I have made<S>3772</S> with you you shall not forget<S>7911</S>; neither shall you fear<S>3372</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
But the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> you shall fear<S>3372</S>; and he shall deliver<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all your enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
But they did not listen<S>8085</S>, but they did<S>6213</S> after their former<S>7223</S> manner<S>4941</S>.


text:
So these nations<S>1471</S> feared<S>3373</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> their engraved images<S>6456</S>, both their sons<S>1121</S>, and their children<S>1121</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>: as did<S>6213</S> their fathers<S>1</S>, so do<S>6213</S> they unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
Twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> also was Abi<S>21</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zachariah<S>2148</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> did<S>6213</S>.


text:
He removed<S>5493</S> the high places<S>1116</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> the images<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> the groves<S>842</S>, and broke in pieces<S>3807</S> the bronze<S>5178</S> serpent<S>5175</S> that Moses<S>4872</S> had made<S>6213</S>: for unto those days<S>3117</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did burn incense<S>6999</S> to it<S>7121</S>: and he called it Nehushtan<S>5180</S>.

He trusted<S>982</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; so that after<S>310</S> him was none like him among all the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, nor any that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he stuck<S>1692</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S>, and departed<S>5493</S> not from following<S>310</S> him<S>8104</S>, but kept his commandments<S>4687</S>, which the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> was with him<S>7919</S>; and he prospered wherever he went forth<S>3318</S>: and he rebelled<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and served him not<S>5647</S>.


text:
He struck<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, even unto Gaza<S>5804</S>, and the borders<S>1366</S> there<S>4026</S>, from the tower of the watchmen<S>5341</S> to the fenced<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, which was the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> son<S>1121</S> of Elah<S>425</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that Shalmaneser<S>8022</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Samaria<S>8111</S>, and besieged it<S>6696</S>.


text:
And at the end<S>7097</S> of three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> they took<S>3920</S> it<S>8337</S>: even in the sixth year<S>8141</S> of Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, that is the ninth<S>8672</S> year<S>8141</S> of Hoshea<S>1954</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Samaria<S>8111</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> did carry away<S>1540</S> Israel<S>3478</S> unto Assyria<S>804</S>, and put<S>5148</S> them in Halah<S>2477</S> and in Habor<S>2249</S> by the river<S>5104</S> of Gozan<S>1470</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Medes<S>4074</S>:


text:
Because they obeyed<S>8085</S> not the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, but transgressed<S>5674</S> his covenant<S>1285</S>, and all that Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, and would not hear<S>8085</S> them<S>6213</S>, nor do them.


text:
Now in the fourteenth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> did Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> come up<S>5927</S> against all the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and took them<S>8610</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I have offended<S>2398</S>; return<S>7725</S> from me<S>5414</S>: that which you set on me will I bear<S>5375</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> appointed<S>7760</S> unto Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> gave<S>5414</S> him all the silver<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and in the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> did Hezekiah<S>2396</S> cut off<S>7112</S> the gold from the doors<S>1817</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and from the pillars<S>547</S> which Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had overlaid<S>6823</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> sent<S>7971</S> Tartan<S>8661</S> and Rabsaris<S>7249</S> and Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh from Lachish<S>3923</S> to king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> with a great<S>3515</S> army<S>2426</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And they went up<S>5927</S> and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And when they were come up<S>5927</S>, they came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> by the conduit<S>8585</S> of the upper<S>5945</S> pool<S>1295</S>, which is in the highway<S>4546</S> of the fuller<S>3526</S>'s field<S>7704</S>.


text:
And when they had called<S>7121</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, there came out<S>3318</S> to them Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, which was over the household<S>1004</S>, and Shebna<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>.


text:
And Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Speak you now to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the great<S>1419</S> king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, What confidence<S>986</S> is this where you trust<S>982</S>?


text:
You say<S>559</S>, (but they are but vain<S>8193</S> words<S>1697</S>,) I have counsel<S>6098</S> and strength<S>1369</S> for the war<S>4421</S>. Now on whom do you trust<S>982</S>, that you rebellest against me<S>4775</S>?


text:
Now<S>982</S>, behold, you trust upon the staff<S>4938</S> of this bruised<S>7533</S> reed<S>7070</S>, even upon Egypt<S>4714</S>, on which if a man<S>376</S> lean<S>5564</S>, it will go<S>935</S> into his hand<S>3709</S>, and pierce<S>5344</S> it<S>6547</S>: so is Pharaoh king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> unto all that trust on him<S>982</S>.


text:
But if you say<S>559</S> unto me<S>982</S>, We trust in the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>: is not that he<S>1116</S>, whose high places and whose altars<S>4196</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> has taken away<S>5493</S>, and has said<S>559</S> to Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, You shall worship<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> this altar<S>4196</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>6148</S>, I pray you, give pledges to my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and I will deliver<S>5414</S> you two thousand<S>505</S> horses<S>5483</S>, if you be able<S>3201</S> on your part to set<S>5414</S> riders upon them<S>7392</S>.


text:
How then will you turn away<S>7725</S> the face<S>6440</S> of one<S>259</S> captain<S>6346</S> of the least<S>6996</S> of my master<S>113</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and put your trust<S>982</S> on Egypt<S>4714</S> for chariots<S>7393</S> and for horsemen<S>6571</S>?


text:
Am I now come up<S>5927</S> without<S>1107</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> against this place<S>4725</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> it<S>3068</S>? The Lord said<S>559</S> to me<S>5927</S>, Go up against this land<S>776</S>, and destroy it<S>7843</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and Shebna<S>7644</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S>, unto Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh, Speak<S>1696</S>, I pray you<S>5650</S>, to your servants in the Syrian language<S>762</S>; for we understand<S>8085</S> it<S>1696</S>: and talk not with us in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S> that are on the wall<S>2346</S>.


text:
But Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh said<S>559</S> unto them<S>113</S>, Has my master sent<S>7971</S> me to your master<S>113</S>, and to you<S>1696</S>, to speak these words<S>1697</S>? has he not sent me to the men<S>582</S> which sit<S>3427</S> on the wall<S>2346</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S> their own dung<S>6675</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> their own piss with you<S>7272</S>?


text:
Then Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh stood<S>5975</S> and cried<S>7121</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language, and spoke<S>1696</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the great<S>1419</S> king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>:


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Let not Hezekiah<S>2396</S> deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>3201</S>: for he shall not be able to deliver<S>5337</S> you out of his hand<S>3027</S>:


text:
Neither let Hezekiah<S>2396</S> make you trust<S>982</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> will surely<S>5337</S> deliver<S>5337</S> us<S>5892</S>, and this city shall not be delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Listen<S>8085</S> not to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>: for thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, Make<S>6213</S> a agreement with me by a present<S>1293</S>, and come out<S>3318</S> to me<S>398</S>, and then eat you every man<S>376</S> of his own vine<S>1612</S>, and every one<S>376</S> of his fig tree<S>8384</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> you every one<S>376</S> the waters<S>4325</S> of his cistern<S>953</S>:


text:
Until I come<S>935</S> and take you away<S>3947</S> to a land<S>776</S> like your own land<S>776</S>, a land<S>776</S> of corn<S>1715</S> and wine<S>8492</S>, a land<S>776</S> of bread<S>3899</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S>, a land<S>776</S> of oil<S>3323</S> olive<S>2132</S> and of honey<S>1706</S>, that you may live<S>2421</S>, and not die<S>4191</S>: and listen<S>8085</S> not unto Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, when he persuadeth<S>5496</S> you<S>559</S>, saying, The Lord<S>3068</S> will deliver us<S>5337</S>.


text:
Has any<S>376</S> of the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> delivered<S>5337</S> at all<S>5337</S> his land<S>776</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>?


text:
Where are the gods<S>430</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, and of Arpad<S>774</S>? where are the gods<S>430</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, Hena<S>2012</S>, and Ivah<S>5755</S>? have they delivered<S>5337</S> Samaria<S>8111</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Who are they among all the gods<S>430</S> of the countries<S>776</S>, that have delivered<S>5337</S> their country<S>776</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, that the Lord<S>3068</S> should deliver<S>5337</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> held their peace<S>2790</S>, and answered<S>6030</S> him not a word<S>1697</S>: for the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>4687</S> was<S>559</S>, saying, Answer him not<S>6030</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, which was over the household<S>1004</S>, and Shebna<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>, to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> with their clothes<S>899</S> tore<S>7167</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him the words<S>1697</S> of Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when king Hezekiah<S>2396</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>7167</S>, that he tore his clothes<S>899</S>, and covered<S>3680</S> himself with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> Eliakim<S>471</S>, which was over the household<S>1004</S>, and Shebna<S>7644</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, covered<S>3680</S> with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, to Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, This day<S>3117</S> is a day<S>3117</S> of trouble<S>6869</S>, and of rebuke<S>8433</S>, and blasphemy<S>5007</S>: for the sons<S>1121</S> are come<S>935</S> to the birth<S>4866</S>, and there is not strength<S>3581</S> to bring forth<S>3205</S>.


text:
It may be<S>194</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> will hear<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh, whom the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> his master<S>113</S> has sent<S>7971</S> to reproach<S>2778</S> the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>; and will reprove<S>3198</S> the words<S>1697</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> has heard<S>8085</S>: therefore lift up<S>5375</S> your prayer<S>8605</S> for the remnant<S>7611</S> that are left<S>4672</S>.


text:
So the servants<S>5650</S> of king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> came<S>935</S> to Isaiah<S>3470</S>.


text:
And Isaiah<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Thus shall you say to your master<S>113</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Be not afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> the words<S>1697</S> which you have heard<S>8085</S>, with which the servants<S>5288</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have blasphemed me<S>1442</S>.


text:
Behold<S>5414</S>, I will send a spirit<S>7307</S> upon him<S>8085</S>, and he shall hear a rumor<S>8052</S>, and shall return<S>7725</S> to his own land<S>776</S>; and I will cause him to fall<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S> in his own land<S>776</S>.


text:
So Rab<S>7262</S>–shakeh returned<S>7725</S>, and found<S>4672</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> warring<S>3898</S> against Libnah<S>3841</S>: for he had heard<S>8085</S> that he was departed<S>5265</S> from Lachish<S>3923</S>.


text:
And when he heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S> of Tirhakah<S>8640</S> king<S>4428</S> of Ethiopia<S>3568</S>, Behold<S>3318</S>, he is come out to fight<S>3898</S> against you<S>7971</S>: he sent messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>7725</S> unto Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus shall you speak<S>559</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let not your God<S>430</S> in whom you trust<S>982</S> deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>559</S>, saying, Jerusalem<S>3389</S> shall not be delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8085</S>, you have heard what the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have done<S>6213</S> to all lands<S>776</S>, by destroying them utterly<S>2763</S>: and shall you be delivered<S>5337</S>?


text:
Have the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> delivered<S>5337</S> them which my fathers<S>1</S> have destroyed<S>7843</S>; as Gozan<S>1470</S>, and Haran<S>2771</S>, and Rezeph<S>7530</S>, and the sons<S>1121</S> of Eden<S>5729</S> which were in Thelasar<S>8515</S>?


text:
Where is the king<S>4428</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Arpad<S>774</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of Sepharvaim<S>5617</S>, of Hena<S>2012</S>, and Ivah<S>5755</S>?


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> received<S>3947</S> the letter<S>5612</S> of the hand<S>3027</S> of the messengers<S>4397</S>, and read<S>7121</S> it<S>2396</S>: and Hezekiah went up<S>5927</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and spread<S>6566</S> it before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> prayed<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which dwell<S>3427</S> between the cherubims<S>3742</S>, you are the God<S>430</S>, even you alone<S>4467</S>, of all the kingdoms of the earth<S>776</S>; you have made<S>6213</S> heaven<S>8064</S> and earth<S>776</S>.

Lord<S>3068</S>, bow down<S>5186</S> your ear<S>241</S>, and hear<S>8085</S>: open<S>6491</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, your eyes<S>5869</S>, and see<S>7200</S>: and hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Sennacherib<S>5576</S>, which has sent<S>7971</S> him to reproach<S>2778</S> the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
Of a truth<S>551</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> have destroyed<S>2717</S> the nations<S>1471</S> and their lands<S>776</S>,


text:
And have cast<S>5414</S> their gods<S>430</S> into the fire<S>784</S>: for they were no gods<S>430</S>, but the work<S>4639</S> of men<S>120</S>'s hands<S>3027</S>, wood<S>6086</S> and stone<S>68</S>: therefore they have destroyed them<S>6</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, O Lord our God<S>430</S>, I beg you<S>3467</S>, save you us out of his hand<S>3027</S>, that all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that you are the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, even you only.


text:
Then Isaiah<S>3470</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, That which you have prayed<S>6419</S> to me against Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> I have heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
This is the word<S>1697</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> concerning him<S>1330</S>; The virgin the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zion<S>6726</S> has despised<S>959</S> you<S>3932</S>, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> has shaken<S>5128</S> her head<S>7218</S> at you<S>310</S>.


text:
Whom have you reproached<S>2778</S> and blasphemed<S>1442</S>? and against whom have you exalted<S>7311</S> your voice<S>6963</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> your eyes<S>5869</S> on high<S>4791</S>? even against the Holy<S>6918</S> One of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
By<S>3027</S> your messengers<S>4397</S> you have reproached<S>2778</S> the Lord<S>136</S>, and have said<S>559</S>, With the multitude<S>7230</S> of my chariots<S>7393</S> I am come up<S>5927</S> to the height<S>4791</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>, to the sides<S>3411</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and will cut down<S>3772</S> the tall<S>6967</S> cedar trees<S>730</S> there<S>4004</S>, and the choice fir trees<S>1265</S> there<S>935</S>: and I will enter into the lodgings<S>4411</S> of his borders<S>7093</S>, and into the forest<S>3293</S> of his Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
I have dug<S>6979</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> strange<S>2114</S> waters<S>4325</S>, and with the sole<S>3709</S> of my feet<S>6471</S> have I dried<S>2717</S> up all the rivers<S>2975</S> of besieged places<S>4693</S>.


text:
Have you not heard<S>8085</S> long ago<S>7350</S> how I have done<S>6213</S> it<S>6924</S>, and of ancient times<S>3117</S> that I have formed<S>3335</S> it<S>935</S>? now have I brought it to pass<S>7582</S>, that you should be to lay waste fenced<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> into ruinous<S>5327</S> heaps<S>1530</S>.


text:
Therefore their inhabitants<S>3427</S> were of small<S>7116</S> power<S>3027</S>, they were dismayed<S>2865</S> and confounded<S>954</S>; they were as the grass<S>6212</S> of the field<S>7704</S>, and as the green<S>3419</S> herb<S>1877</S>, as the grass<S>2682</S> on the housetops<S>1406</S>, and as corn blasted<S>7711</S> before<S>6440</S> it be grown up<S>7054</S>.


text:
But I know<S>3045</S> your sitting<S>3427</S>, and your going out<S>3318</S>, and your coming in<S>935</S>, and your rage against me<S>7264</S>.


text:
Because your rage<S>7264</S> against me and your tumult<S>7600</S> is come up<S>5927</S> into my ears<S>241</S>, therefore I will put<S>7760</S> my hook<S>2397</S> in your nose<S>639</S>, and my bridle<S>4964</S> in your lips<S>8193</S>, and I will turn you back<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> by which you came<S>935</S>.


text:
And this shall be a sign<S>226</S> unto you<S>398</S>, You shall eat this year<S>8141</S> such things as grow<S>5599</S> of themselves<S>8145</S>, and in the second year<S>8141</S> that which springs<S>7823</S> of the same<S>7992</S>; and in the third year<S>8141</S> sow<S>2232</S> you<S>7114</S>, and reap, and plant<S>5193</S> vineyards<S>3754</S>, and eat<S>398</S> the fruits there<S>6529</S>.


text:
And the remnant<S>7604</S> that is escaped<S>6413</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> shall yet again<S>3254</S> take root<S>8328</S> downward<S>4295</S>, and bear<S>6213</S> fruit<S>6529</S> upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
For out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> shall go forth<S>3318</S> a remnant<S>7611</S>, and they that escape<S>6413</S> out of mountain<S>2022</S> Zion<S>6726</S>: the zeal<S>7068</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> shall do this<S>6213</S>.


text:
Therefore thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> concerning the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, He shall not come<S>935</S> into this city<S>5892</S>, nor shoot<S>3384</S> a arrow<S>2671</S> there<S>6923</S>, nor come before it with shield<S>4043</S>, nor cast<S>8210</S> a bank against it<S>5550</S>.


text:
By the way<S>1870</S> that he came<S>935</S>, by the same shall he return<S>7725</S>, and shall not come<S>935</S> into this city<S>5892</S>, says<S>5002</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
For I will defend<S>1598</S> this city<S>5892</S>, to save<S>3467</S> it<S>5650</S>, for my own sake, and for my servant David<S>1732</S>'s sake.


text:
And it came to pass that night<S>3915</S>, that the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Assyrians<S>804</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> and five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S>: and when they arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>4191</S>, they were all dead corpses<S>6297</S>.


text:
So Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> departed<S>5265</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and returned<S>7725</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> at Nineveh<S>5210</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7812</S>, as he was worshipping in the house<S>1004</S> of Nisroch<S>5268</S> his god<S>430</S>, that Adrammelech<S>152</S> and Sharezer<S>8272</S> his sons<S>1121</S> struck<S>5221</S> him with the sword<S>2719</S>: and they escaped<S>4422</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Armenia<S>780</S>. And Esar<S>634</S>–haddon his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3068</S>, when the Lord would take up<S>5927</S> Elijah<S>452</S> into heaven<S>8064</S> by a whirlwind<S>5591</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> with Elisha<S>477</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto Elisha<S>477</S>, Stay<S>3427</S> here<S>3068</S>, I pray you; for the Lord has sent<S>7971</S> me to Beth<S>1008</S>–el. And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, As the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>3381</S>. So they went down to Beth<S>1008</S>–el.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> that were at Beth<S>1008</S>–el came forth<S>3318</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3045</S>, Know you that the Lord<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> your master<S>113</S> from your head<S>7218</S> to day<S>3117</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Yes<S>3045</S>, I know it<S>2814</S>; hold you your peace.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>477</S>, Elisha, stay<S>3427</S> here<S>3068</S>, I pray you; for the Lord has sent<S>7971</S> me to Jericho<S>3405</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>935</S>. So they came to Jericho<S>3405</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> that were at Jericho<S>3405</S> came<S>5066</S> to Elisha<S>477</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3045</S>, Know you that the Lord<S>3068</S> will take away<S>3947</S> your master<S>113</S> from your head<S>7218</S> to day<S>3117</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Yes<S>3045</S>, I know it<S>2814</S>; hold you your peace.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3427</S>, Stay, I pray you<S>3068</S>, here; for the Lord has sent<S>7971</S> me to Jordan<S>3383</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>8147</S>. And they two went on<S>3212</S>.


text:
And fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> went<S>1980</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> to view<S>5048</S> afar off<S>7350</S>: and they two<S>8147</S> stood<S>5975</S> by Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> his mantle<S>155</S>, and wrapped it together<S>1563</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, and they were divided<S>2673</S> here and there<S>8147</S>, so that they two went over<S>5674</S> on dry ground<S>2724</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>5674</S>, when they were gone over, that Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto Elisha<S>477</S>, Ask<S>7592</S> what I shall do<S>6213</S> for you<S>3947</S>, before I be taken away from you<S>477</S>. And Elisha said<S>559</S>, I pray you<S>8147</S>, let a double portion<S>6310</S> of your spirit be upon me<S>7307</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, You have asked<S>7592</S> a hard thing<S>7185</S>: nevertheless<S>7200</S>, if you see me when I am taken from you<S>3947</S>, it shall be so unto you; but if not, it shall not be so.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1980</S>, as they still went on<S>1980</S>, and talked<S>1696</S>, that<S>7393</S>, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire<S>784</S>, and horses<S>5483</S> of fire<S>784</S>, and parted<S>6504</S> them both<S>8147</S> asunder<S>996</S>; and Elijah<S>452</S> went up<S>5927</S> by a whirlwind<S>5591</S> into heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>6817</S>, and he cried, My father<S>1</S>, my father<S>1</S>, the chariot<S>7393</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the horsemen<S>6571</S> there<S>7200</S>. And he saw him no more<S>2388</S>: and he took hold of his own clothes<S>899</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> them in two<S>8147</S> pieces<S>7168</S>.


text:
He took up<S>7311</S> also the mantle<S>155</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> that fell<S>5307</S> from him<S>7725</S>, and went back, and stood<S>5975</S> by the bank<S>8193</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S>;


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the mantle<S>155</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> that fell<S>5307</S> from him<S>5221</S>, and struck the waters<S>4325</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Where is the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>? and when he also had struck<S>5221</S> the waters<S>4325</S>, they parted<S>2673</S> here and there<S>477</S>: and Elisha went over<S>5674</S>.


text:
And when the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> which were to view at Jericho<S>3405</S> saw<S>7200</S> him<S>559</S>, they said, The spirit<S>7307</S> of Elijah<S>452</S> does rest<S>5117</S> on Elisha<S>477</S>. And they came<S>935</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>7812</S>, and bowed themselves to the ground before him<S>776</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3426</S>, Behold now, there be with your servants<S>5650</S> fifty<S>2572</S> strong<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>; let them go<S>3212</S>, we pray you<S>1245</S>, and seek your master<S>113</S>: lest perhaps the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> has taken him up<S>5375</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him upon some<S>259</S> mountain<S>2022</S>, or into some<S>259</S> valley<S>1516</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, You shall not send<S>7971</S>.


text:
And when they urged<S>6484</S> him until he was ashamed<S>954</S>, he said<S>559</S>, Send<S>7971</S>. They sent<S>7971</S> therefore fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>; and they sought<S>1245</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, but found him not<S>4672</S>.


text:
And when they came again<S>7725</S> to him<S>3427</S>, (for he stayed at Jericho<S>3405</S>,) he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Did I not say unto you<S>3212</S>, Go not?


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> unto Elisha<S>477</S>, Behold<S>4186</S>, I pray you, the situation of this city<S>5892</S> is pleasant<S>2896</S>, as my lord<S>113</S> sees<S>7200</S>: but the water<S>4325</S> is naught<S>7451</S>, and the ground<S>776</S> childless<S>7921</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Bring<S>3947</S> me a new<S>2319</S> jar<S>6746</S>, and put<S>7760</S> salt<S>4417</S> in it<S>3947</S>. And they brought it to him.


text:
And he went forth<S>3318</S> unto the spring<S>4161</S> of the waters<S>4325</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> the salt<S>4417</S> in there<S>559</S>, and said, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, I have healed<S>7495</S> these waters<S>4325</S>; there shall not be from there any more death<S>4194</S> or childless land<S>7921</S>.


text:
So the waters<S>4325</S> were healed<S>7495</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he went up<S>5927</S> from there unto Beth<S>1008</S>–el: and as he was going up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, there came forth<S>3318</S> little<S>6996</S> sons<S>5288</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, and mocked<S>7046</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>5927</S>, Go up, you bald head<S>7142</S>; go up<S>5927</S>, you bald head<S>7142</S>.


text:
And he turned<S>6437</S> back<S>310</S>, and looked<S>7200</S> on them<S>7043</S>, and cursed them in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And there came forth<S>3318</S> two<S>8147</S> she bears<S>1677</S> out of the wood<S>3293</S>, and tore<S>1234</S> forty<S>705</S> and two<S>8147</S> sons of them<S>3206</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> from there to mountain<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and from there he returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> was Hezekiah<S>2396</S> sick<S>2470</S> unto death<S>4191</S>. And the prophet<S>5030</S> Isaiah<S>3470</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S>, Set your house<S>1004</S> in order<S>6680</S>; for you shall die<S>4191</S>, and not live<S>2421</S>.


text:
Then he turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> to the wall<S>7023</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
I beg<S>577</S> you<S>3068</S>, O Lord, remember<S>2142</S> now how I have walked<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you in truth<S>571</S> and with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>, and have done<S>6213</S> that which is good<S>2896</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>. And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> wept<S>1058</S> severely<S>1419</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3470</S>, before Isaiah was gone out<S>3318</S> into the middle<S>8484</S> court<S>2691</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to him<S>559</S>, saying,

Turn again<S>7725</S>, and tell<S>559</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the captain<S>5057</S> of my people<S>5971</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, I have heard<S>8085</S> your prayer<S>8605</S>, I have seen<S>7200</S> your tears<S>1832</S>: behold<S>7495</S>, I will heal you<S>7992</S>: on the third day<S>3117</S> you shall go up<S>5927</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And I will add<S>3254</S> unto your days<S>3117</S> fifteen<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S>; and I will deliver<S>5337</S> you and this city<S>5892</S> out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>; and I will defend<S>1598</S> this city<S>5892</S> for my own sake<S>5650</S>, and for my servant David<S>1732</S>'s sake.


text:
And Isaiah<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a lump<S>1690</S> of figs<S>8384</S>. And they took<S>3947</S> and laid<S>7760</S> it on the boil<S>7822</S>, and he recovered<S>2421</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> said<S>559</S> unto Isaiah<S>3470</S>, What shall be the sign<S>226</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> will heal<S>7495</S> me<S>5927</S>, and that I shall go up into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>?


text:
And Isaiah<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S>, This sign<S>226</S> shall you have of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that the Lord<S>3068</S> will do<S>6213</S> the thing<S>1697</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S>: shall the shadow<S>6738</S> go forward<S>1980</S> ten<S>6235</S> degrees<S>4609</S>, or go back<S>7725</S> ten<S>6235</S> degrees<S>4609</S>?


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> answered<S>559</S>, It is a light thing<S>7043</S> for the shadow<S>6738</S> to go down<S>5186</S> ten<S>6235</S> degrees<S>4609</S>: No<S>6738</S>, but let the shadow return<S>7725</S> backward<S>322</S> ten<S>6235</S> degrees<S>4609</S>.


text:
And Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> cried<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>: and he brought<S>7725</S> the shadow<S>6738</S> ten<S>6235</S> degrees<S>4609</S> backward<S>322</S>, by<S>4609</S> which it had gone down<S>3381</S> in the dial<S>4609</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Berodach<S>1255</S>–baladan, the son<S>1121</S> of Baladan<S>1081</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> and a present<S>4503</S> unto Hezekiah<S>2396</S>: for he had heard<S>8085</S> that Hezekiah<S>2396</S> had been sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> listened<S>8085</S> unto them<S>7200</S>, and showed them all the house<S>1004</S> of his precious things<S>5238</S>, the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the spices<S>1314</S>, and the precious<S>2896</S> ointment<S>8081</S>, and all the house<S>1004</S> of his armor<S>3627</S>, and all that was found<S>4672</S> in his treasures<S>214</S>: there was nothing<S>1697</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, nor in all his dominion<S>4475</S>, that Hezekiah<S>2396</S> showed them not<S>7200</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, What said these men<S>582</S>? and from where<S>370</S> came<S>935</S> they unto you<S>2396</S>? And Hezekiah said<S>559</S>, They are come<S>935</S> from a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S>, even from Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What have they seen<S>7200</S> in your house<S>1004</S>? And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> answered<S>559</S>, All the things that are in my house<S>1004</S> have they seen<S>7200</S>: there is nothing<S>1697</S> among my treasures<S>214</S> that I have not showed them<S>7200</S>.


text:
And Isaiah<S>3470</S> said<S>559</S> unto Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, the days come<S>935</S>, that all that is in your house<S>1004</S>, and that which your fathers<S>1</S> have laid up in store<S>686</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, shall be carried<S>5375</S> into Babylon<S>894</S>: nothing<S>1697</S> shall be left<S>3498</S>, says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And of your sons<S>1121</S> that shall issue<S>3318</S> from you<S>3205</S>, which you shall father, shall they take away<S>3947</S>; and they shall be eunuchs<S>5631</S> in the palace<S>1964</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> unto Isaiah<S>3470</S>, Good<S>2896</S> is the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which you have spoken<S>1696</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Is it not good<S>7965</S>, if peace and truth<S>571</S> be in my days<S>3117</S>?


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>2396</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, and how he made<S>6213</S> a pool<S>1295</S>, and a conduit<S>8585</S>, and brought<S>935</S> water<S>4325</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>: and Manasseh<S>4519</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Manasseh<S>4519</S> was twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hephzi<S>2657</S>–bah.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, after the abominations<S>8441</S> of the heathen<S>1471</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
For he built up<S>1129</S> again<S>7725</S> the high places<S>1116</S> which Hezekiah<S>2396</S> his father<S>1</S> had destroyed<S>6</S>; and he reared up<S>6965</S> altars<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S>, and made<S>6213</S> a grove<S>842</S>, as did<S>6213</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and worshiped<S>7812</S> all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, of which the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, In Jerusalem<S>3389</S> will I put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> for all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> in the two<S>8147</S> courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he made his son<S>1121</S> pass<S>5674</S> through the fire<S>784</S>, and observed times<S>6049</S>, and used enchantments<S>5172</S>, and dealt<S>6213</S> with familiar spirits<S>178</S> and wizards<S>3049</S>: he done<S>6213</S> much<S>7235</S> wickedness<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
And he set<S>7760</S> a engraved image<S>6459</S> of the grove<S>842</S> that he had made<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, of which the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and to Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, In this house<S>1004</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which I have chosen<S>977</S> out of all tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, will I put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> for ever<S>5769</S>:


text:
Neither will I make the feet<S>7272</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> move<S>5110</S> any more<S>3254</S> out of the land<S>127</S> which I gave<S>5414</S> their fathers<S>1</S>; only if they will observe<S>8104</S> to do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>8451</S>, and according to all the law that my servant<S>5650</S> Moses<S>4872</S> commanded them<S>6680</S>.


text:
But they listened<S>8085</S> not<S>4519</S>: and Manasseh seduced<S>8582</S> them to do<S>6213</S> more evil<S>7451</S> than did the nations<S>1471</S> whom the Lord<S>3068</S> destroyed<S>8045</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Because Manasseh<S>4519</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> has done<S>6213</S> these abominations<S>8441</S>, and has done wickedly<S>7489</S> above all that the Amorites<S>567</S> did<S>6213</S>, which were before<S>6440</S> him<S>3063</S>, and has made Judah also to sin<S>2398</S> with his idols<S>1544</S>:


text:
Therefore thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold<S>935</S>, I am bringing such evil<S>7451</S> upon Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, that whoever hears<S>8085</S> of it<S>8147</S>, both his ears<S>241</S> shall tingle<S>6750</S>.


text:
And I will stretch<S>5186</S> over Jerusalem<S>3389</S> the line<S>6957</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, and the plumb line<S>4949</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: and I will wipe<S>4229</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> as a man wipes<S>4229</S> a dish<S>6747</S>, wiping<S>4229</S> it<S>2015</S>, and turning it upside down<S>6440</S>.


text:
And I will forsake<S>5203</S> the remnant<S>7611</S> of my inheritance<S>5159</S>, and deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S>; and they shall become a prey<S>957</S> and a plunder<S>4933</S> to all their enemies<S>341</S>;


text:
Because they have done<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, and have provoked<S>4480</S> me to anger<S>3707</S>, since the day<S>3117</S> their fathers<S>1</S> came forth<S>3318</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, even unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Moreover Manasseh<S>4519</S> shed<S>8210</S> innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S> very<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S>, until he had filled<S>4390</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from one end<S>6310</S> to another<S>6310</S>; beside his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Judah<S>3063</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, in doing<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and his sin<S>2403</S> that he sinned<S>2398</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And Manasseh<S>4519</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the garden<S>1588</S> of his own house<S>1004</S>, in the garden<S>1588</S> of Uzza<S>5798</S>: and Amon<S>526</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Amon<S>526</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Meshullemeth<S>4922</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Haruz<S>2743</S> of Jotbah<S>3192</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as his father<S>1</S> Manasseh<S>4519</S> did<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> that his father<S>1</S> walked in<S>1980</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the idols<S>1544</S> that his father<S>1</S> served<S>5647</S>, and worshiped them<S>7812</S>:


text:
And he forsook<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> not in the way<S>1870</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of Amon<S>526</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>4191</S>, and killed the king<S>4428</S> in his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> killed<S>5221</S> all them that had conspired<S>7194</S> against king<S>4428</S> Amon<S>526</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> made Josiah<S>2977</S> his son<S>1121</S> king in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Amon<S>526</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And he was buried<S>6912</S> in his tomb<S>6900</S> in the garden<S>1588</S> of Uzza<S>5798</S>: and Josiah<S>2977</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Josiah<S>2977</S> was eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> thirty<S>7970</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jedidah<S>3040</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Adaiah<S>5718</S> of Boscath<S>1218</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> Shaphan<S>8227</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Azaliah<S>683</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Meshullam<S>4918</S>, the scribe<S>5608</S>, to the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Go up<S>5927</S> to Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S>, that he may sum<S>8552</S> the silver<S>3701</S> which is brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which the keepers<S>8104</S> of the door<S>5592</S> have gathered<S>622</S> of the people<S>5971</S>:


text:
And let them deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the doers<S>6213</S> of the work<S>4399</S>, that have the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and let them give<S>5414</S> it to the doers<S>6213</S> of the work<S>4399</S> which is in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to repair<S>2388</S> the breaches<S>919</S> of the house<S>1004</S>,


text:
Unto carpenters<S>2796</S>, and builders<S>1129</S>, and masons<S>1443</S>, and to buy<S>7069</S> timber<S>6086</S> and cut<S>4274</S> stone<S>68</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But there was no reckoning made<S>2803</S> with them of the money<S>3701</S> that was delivered<S>5414</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>, because they dealt<S>6213</S> faithfully<S>530</S>.


text:
And Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> unto Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, I have found<S>4672</S> the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Hilkiah<S>2518</S> gave<S>5414</S> the book<S>5612</S> to Shaphan<S>8227</S>, and he read it<S>7121</S>.

And Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Your servants<S>5650</S> have gathered<S>5413</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, and have delivered<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of them that do<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S>, that have the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> showed<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> me a book<S>5612</S>. And Shaphan<S>8227</S> read<S>7121</S> it before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king had heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Ahikam<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan<S>8227</S>, and Achbor<S>5907</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Michaiah<S>4320</S>, and Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Asahiah<S>6222</S> a servant<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Go<S>3212</S> you<S>1875</S>, inquire of the Lord<S>3068</S> for me<S>5971</S>, and for the people, and for all Judah<S>3063</S>, concerning the words<S>1697</S> of this book<S>5612</S> that is found<S>4672</S>: for great<S>1419</S> is the wrath<S>2534</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> that is kindled<S>3341</S> against us<S>1</S>, because our fathers have not listened<S>8085</S> unto the words<S>1697</S> of this book<S>5612</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according unto all that which is written concerning us<S>3789</S>.


text:
So Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Ahikam<S>296</S>, and Achbor<S>5907</S>, and Shaphan<S>8227</S>, and Asahiah<S>6222</S>, went<S>3212</S> unto Huldah<S>2468</S> the prophetess<S>5031</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tikvah<S>8616</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Harhas<S>2745</S>, keeper<S>8104</S> of the wardrobe<S>899</S>; (now she lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the college<S>4932</S>;) and they talked with her<S>1696</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Tell<S>559</S> the man<S>376</S> that sent you to me<S>7971</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Behold<S>935</S>, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> upon this place<S>4725</S>, and upon the inhabitants<S>3427</S> there<S>1697</S>, even all the words of the book<S>5612</S> which the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> has read<S>7121</S>:


text:
Because they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>6999</S>, and have burned incense unto other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, that they might provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with all the works<S>4639</S> of their hands<S>3027</S>; therefore my wrath<S>2534</S> shall be kindled<S>3341</S> against this place<S>4725</S>, and shall not be quenched<S>3518</S>.


text:
But to the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> which sent<S>7971</S> you to inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, thus shall you say<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, As touching the words<S>1697</S> which you have heard<S>8085</S>;


text:
Because your heart<S>3824</S> was tender<S>7401</S>, and you have humbled<S>3665</S> yourself before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, when you heard<S>8085</S> what I spoke<S>1696</S> against this place<S>4725</S>, and against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> there<S>8047</S>, that they should become a desolation and a curse<S>7045</S>, and have tore<S>7167</S> your clothes<S>899</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>8085</S>; I also have heard you<S>5002</S>, says the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold therefore<S>622</S>, I will gather you unto your fathers<S>1</S>, and you shall be gathered<S>622</S> into your grave<S>6913</S> in peace<S>7965</S>; and your eyes<S>5869</S> shall not see<S>7200</S> all the evil<S>7451</S> which I will bring<S>935</S> upon this place<S>4725</S>. And they brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and they gathered<S>622</S> unto him all the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went up<S>5927</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with him<S>3548</S>, and the priests, and the prophets<S>5030</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>: and he read<S>7121</S> in their ears<S>241</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> which was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> by a pillar<S>5982</S>, and made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and to keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S> and his testimonies<S>5715</S> and his statutes<S>2708</S> with all their heart<S>3820</S> and all their soul<S>5315</S>, to perform<S>6965</S> the words<S>1697</S> of this covenant<S>1285</S> that were written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> stood<S>5975</S> to the covenant<S>1285</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> of the second order<S>4932</S>, and the keepers<S>8104</S> of the door<S>5592</S>, to bring forth<S>3318</S> out of the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were made<S>6213</S> for Baal<S>1168</S>, and for the grove<S>842</S>, and for all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>: and he burned<S>8313</S> them outside<S>2351</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the fields<S>7709</S> of Kidron<S>6939</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> the ashes<S>6083</S> of them unto Beth<S>1008</S>–el.


text:
And he put down<S>7673</S> the idolatrous priests<S>3649</S>, whom the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had ordained<S>5414</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in the places round about<S>4524</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; them also that burned incense<S>6999</S> unto Baal<S>1168</S>, to the sun<S>8121</S>, and to the moon<S>3394</S>, and to the planets<S>4208</S>, and to all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And he brought out<S>3318</S> the grove<S>842</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, outside<S>2351</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, unto the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> it at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, and stamped it small<S>1854</S> to powder<S>6083</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> the powder<S>6083</S> there upon the graves<S>6913</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And he broke down<S>5422</S> the houses<S>1004</S> of the sodomites<S>6945</S>, that were by the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, where the women<S>802</S> wove<S>707</S> hangings<S>1004</S> for the grove<S>842</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> all the priests<S>3548</S> out of the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and defiled<S>2930</S> the high places<S>1116</S> where the priests<S>3548</S> had burned incense<S>6999</S>, from Geba<S>1387</S> to Beer<S>884</S>–sheba, and broke down<S>5422</S> the high places<S>1116</S> of the gates<S>8179</S> that were in the entering in<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, which were on a man<S>376</S>'s left hand<S>8040</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Nevertheless the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> came not up<S>5927</S> to the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, but they did eat<S>398</S> of the unleavened bread<S>4682</S> among<S>8432</S> their brothers<S>251</S>.


text:
And he defiled<S>2930</S> Topheth<S>8612</S>, which is in the valley<S>1516</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Hinnom<S>2011</S>, that no man<S>376</S> might make his son<S>1121</S> or his daughter<S>1323</S> to pass through<S>5674</S> the fire<S>784</S> to Molech<S>4432</S>.


text:
And he took away<S>7673</S> the horses<S>5483</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had given<S>5414</S> to the sun<S>8121</S>, at the entering in<S>935</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, by the chamber<S>3957</S> of Nathan<S>5419</S>–melech the chamberlain<S>5631</S>, which was in the suburbs<S>6503</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> the chariots<S>4818</S> of the sun<S>8121</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And the altars<S>4196</S> that were on the top<S>1406</S> of the upper chamber<S>5944</S> of Ahaz<S>271</S>, which the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had made<S>6213</S>, and the altars<S>4196</S> which Manasseh<S>4519</S> had made<S>6213</S> in the two<S>8147</S> courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, did the king<S>4428</S> beat down<S>5422</S>, and broke them down<S>7323</S> from there<S>7993</S>, and cast the dust<S>6083</S> of them into the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
And the high places<S>1116</S> that were before<S>6440</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which were on the right hand<S>3225</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S> of corruption<S>4889</S>, which Solomon<S>8010</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had built<S>1129</S> for Ashtoreth<S>6253</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, and for Chemosh<S>3645</S> the abomination<S>8251</S> of the Moabites<S>4124</S>, and for Milcom<S>4445</S> the abomination<S>8441</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, did the king<S>4428</S> defile<S>2930</S>.


text:
And he broke in pieces<S>7665</S> the images<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> the groves<S>842</S>, and filled<S>4390</S> their places<S>4725</S> with the bones<S>6106</S> of men<S>120</S>.


text:
Moreover the altar<S>4196</S> that was at Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and the high place<S>1116</S> which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, had made<S>6213</S>, both that altar<S>4196</S> and the high place<S>1116</S> he broke down<S>5422</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> the high place<S>1116</S>, and stamped<S>1854</S> it small to powder<S>6083</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> the grove<S>842</S>.


text:
And as Josiah<S>2977</S> turned<S>6437</S> himself<S>7200</S>, he spied the tombs<S>6913</S> that were there in the mountain<S>2022</S>, and sent<S>7971</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the bones<S>6106</S> out of the tombs<S>6913</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> them upon the altar<S>4196</S>, and polluted<S>2930</S> it<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> proclaimed<S>7121</S>, who proclaimed<S>7121</S> these words<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, What monument<S>6725</S> is that<S>1975</S> that I see<S>7200</S>? And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> told<S>559</S> him<S>6913</S>, It is the tomb of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, which came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>, and proclaimed<S>7121</S> these things<S>1697</S> that you have done<S>6213</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> of Beth<S>1008</S>–el.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Let him alone<S>3240</S>; let no man<S>376</S> move<S>5128</S> his bones<S>6106</S>. So they let his bones<S>6106</S> alone<S>4422</S>, with the bones<S>6106</S> of the prophet<S>5030</S> that came out<S>935</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And all the houses<S>1004</S> also of the high places<S>1116</S> that were in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, which the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had made<S>6213</S> to provoke the Lord to anger<S>3707</S>, Josiah<S>2977</S> took away<S>5493</S>, and did<S>6213</S> to them according to all the acts<S>4639</S> that he had done<S>6213</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el.


text:
And he killed<S>2076</S> all the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> that were there upon the altars<S>4196</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> men<S>120</S>'s bones<S>6106</S> upon them<S>7725</S>, and returned to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of this covenant<S>1285</S>.


text:
Surely there was not held<S>6213</S> such a passover<S>6453</S> from the days<S>3117</S> of the judges<S>8199</S> that judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, nor in all the days<S>3117</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, nor of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>;


text:
But in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>, where this passover<S>6453</S> was held<S>6213</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, and the images<S>8655</S>, and the idols<S>1544</S>, and all the abominations<S>8251</S> that were spied<S>7200</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, did Josiah<S>2977</S> put away<S>1197</S>, that he might perform<S>6965</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S> which were written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> that Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And like unto him was there no king<S>4428</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>7725</S>, that turned to the Lord<S>3068</S> with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and with all his soul<S>5315</S>, and with all his might<S>3966</S>, according to all the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>; neither after<S>310</S> him arose there any like him<S>6965</S>.


text:
Nevertheless the Lord<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> not from the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his great<S>1419</S> wrath<S>639</S>, with which his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, because of all the provocations<S>3708</S> that Manasseh<S>4519</S> had provoked him with<S>3707</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, I will remove<S>5493</S> Judah<S>3063</S> also out of my sight<S>6440</S>, as I have removed<S>5493</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and will cast off<S>3988</S> this city<S>5892</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> which I have chosen<S>977</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of which I said<S>559</S>, My name shall be there<S>8034</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Pharaoh<S>6549</S>–nechoh king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> went up<S>5927</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to the river<S>5104</S> Euphrates<S>6578</S>: and king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> him<S>4191</S>; and he killed him at Megiddo<S>4023</S>, when he had seen him<S>7200</S>.

And his servants<S>5650</S> carried him in a chariot<S>7392</S> dead<S>4191</S> from Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in his own tomb<S>6900</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him<S>4427</S>, and made him king in his father<S>1</S>'s place.

Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hamutal<S>2537</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> of Libnah<S>3841</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that his fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Pharaoh<S>6549</S>–nechoh put him in bands<S>631</S> at Riblah<S>7247</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>, that he might not reign<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and put<S>5414</S> the land<S>776</S> to a tribute<S>6066</S> of a hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And Pharaoh<S>6549</S>–nechoh made Eliakim<S>471</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> king<S>4427</S> in the room of Josiah<S>2977</S> his father<S>1</S>, and turned<S>5437</S> his name<S>8034</S> to Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>, and took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> away<S>3947</S>: and he came<S>935</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S>, and died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> gave<S>5414</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> to Pharaoh<S>6547</S>; but he taxed<S>6186</S> the land<S>776</S> to give<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> according to the commandment<S>6310</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S>: he exacted<S>5065</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, of every one<S>376</S> according to his taxation<S>6187</S>, to give<S>5414</S> it unto Pharaoh<S>6549</S>–nechoh.


text:
Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zebudah<S>2080</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Pedaiah<S>6305</S> of Rumah<S>7316</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> became his servant<S>5650</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>: then he turned<S>7725</S> and rebelled against him<S>4775</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> against him bands<S>1416</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the Moabites<S>4124</S>, and bands<S>1416</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them against Judah<S>3063</S> to destroy<S>6</S> it<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Surely at the commandment<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came this upon Judah<S>3063</S>, to remove<S>5493</S> them out of his sight<S>6440</S>, for the sins<S>2403</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, according to all that he did<S>6213</S>;


text:
And also for the innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S> that he shed<S>8210</S>: for he filled<S>4390</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S>; which the Lord<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not pardon<S>5545</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
So Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>: and Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came<S>3318</S> not again<S>3254</S> any more out of his land<S>776</S>: for the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had taken<S>3947</S> from the river<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> unto the river<S>5104</S> Euphrates<S>6578</S> all that pertained to the king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> was eighteen<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Nehushta<S>5179</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Elnathan<S>494</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> was besieged<S>935</S>.


text:
And Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came<S>935</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> did besiege it<S>6696</S>.


text:
And Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, he<S>517</S>, and his mother, and his servants<S>5650</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and his officers<S>5631</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> took<S>3947</S> him in the eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
And he carried out<S>3318</S> there all the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and cut in pieces<S>7112</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had made<S>6213</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> had said<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he carried away<S>1540</S> all Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and all the princes<S>8269</S>, and all the mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, even ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> captives<S>1540</S>, and all the craftsmen<S>2796</S> and smiths<S>4525</S>: none remained<S>7604</S>, save<S>2108</S> the poorest sort<S>1803</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And he carried away<S>1540</S> Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s mother<S>517</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s wives<S>802</S>, and his officers<S>5631</S>, and the mighty<S>352</S> of the land<S>776</S>, those carried<S>3212</S> he into captivity<S>1473</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>582</S> of might<S>2428</S>, even seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and craftsmen<S>2796</S> and smiths<S>4525</S> a thousand<S>505</S>, all that were strong<S>1368</S> and apt<S>6213</S> for war<S>4421</S>, even them the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> brought<S>935</S> captive<S>1473</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> made Mattaniah<S>4983</S> his father<S>1730</S>'s brother king<S>4427</S> in his place<S>5437</S>, and changed his name<S>8034</S> to Zedekiah<S>6667</S>.


text:
Zedekiah<S>6667</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Hamutal<S>2537</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> of Libnah<S>3841</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, according to all that Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
For through the anger<S>639</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> it came to pass in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, until he had cast them out<S>7993</S> from his presence<S>6440</S>, that Zedekiah<S>6667</S> rebelled<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the ninth<S>8671</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, in the tenth<S>6224</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the tenth<S>6218</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, that Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> came<S>935</S>, he<S>2428</S>, and all his army, against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and pitched<S>2583</S> against it<S>1129</S>; and they built forts<S>1785</S> against it round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And the city<S>5892</S> was besieged<S>935</S> unto the eleventh<S>6249</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Zedekiah<S>6667</S>.


text:
And on the ninth<S>8672</S> day of the fourth month<S>2320</S> the famine<S>7458</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and there was no bread<S>3899</S> for the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the city<S>5892</S> was broken up<S>1234</S>, and all the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S> fled by night<S>3915</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> between two walls<S>2346</S>, which is by the king<S>4428</S>'s garden<S>1588</S>: (now the Chaldees<S>3778</S> were against the city<S>5892</S> round about<S>5439</S>:) and the king went<S>3212</S> the way<S>1870</S> toward the plain<S>6160</S>.


text:
And the army<S>2428</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and overtook<S>5381</S> him in the plains<S>6160</S> of Jericho<S>3405</S>: and all his army<S>2428</S> were scattered from him<S>6327</S>.


text:
So they took<S>8610</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and brought him up<S>5927</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> to Riblah<S>7247</S>; and they gave<S>1696</S> judgment upon him<S>4941</S>.


text:
And they killed<S>7819</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Zedekiah<S>6667</S> before his eyes<S>5869</S>, and put out<S>5786</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of Zedekiah<S>6667</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him with fetters<S>5178</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, and carried<S>935</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And in the fifth<S>2549</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the seventh<S>7651</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, which is the nineteenth<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, came<S>935</S> Nebuzar<S>5018</S>–adan, captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S>, a servant<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>:


text:
And he burnt<S>8313</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and all the houses<S>1004</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and every great<S>1419</S> man<S>1004</S>'s house burnt<S>8313</S> he with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And all the army<S>2428</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S>, that were with the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S>, broke down<S>5422</S> the walls<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> that were left<S>7604</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and the fugitives<S>5307</S> that fell away<S>5307</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, with the remnant<S>3499</S> of the multitude<S>1995</S>, did Nebuzar<S>5018</S>–adan the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> carry away<S>1540</S>.


text:
But the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> left<S>7604</S> of the poor<S>1803</S> of the land<S>776</S> to be vinedressers<S>3755</S> and husbandmen<S>3009</S>.


text:
And the pillars<S>5982</S> of brass<S>5178</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the bases<S>4350</S>, and the bronze<S>5178</S> sea<S>3220</S> that was in the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, did the Chaldees<S>3778</S> break in pieces<S>7665</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> the brass<S>5178</S> of them to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
And the pots<S>5518</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the snuffers<S>4212</S>, and the spoons<S>3709</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> of brass<S>5178</S> with which they ministered<S>8334</S>, took they away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And the firepans<S>4289</S>, and the bowls<S>4219</S>, and such things as were of gold<S>2091</S>, in gold<S>2091</S>, and of silver<S>3701</S>, in silver<S>3701</S>, the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took away<S>3947</S>.


text:
The two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, one<S>259</S> sea<S>3220</S>, and the bases<S>4350</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; the brass<S>5178</S> of all these vessels<S>3627</S> was without<S>3808</S> weight<S>4948</S>.


text:
The height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> pillar<S>5982</S> was eighteen<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the capital<S>3805</S> upon it was brass<S>5178</S>: and the height<S>6967</S> of the capital<S>3805</S> three<S>7969</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and the braided work<S>7639</S>, and pomegranates<S>7416</S> upon the capital<S>3805</S> round about<S>5439</S>, all of brass<S>5178</S>: and like unto these had the second<S>8145</S> pillar<S>5982</S> with braided work<S>7639</S>.


text:
And the captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took<S>3947</S> Seraiah<S>8304</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and Zephaniah<S>6846</S> the second<S>4932</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and the three<S>7969</S> keepers<S>8104</S> of the door<S>5592</S>:


text:
And out of the city<S>5892</S> he took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S> that was set<S>6496</S> over the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> of them that were<S>7200</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, which were found<S>4672</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and the principal<S>8269</S> scribe<S>5608</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, which mustered<S>6633</S> the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> men<S>376</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> that were found<S>4672</S> in the city<S>5892</S>:


text:
And Nebuzar<S>5018</S>–adan captain<S>7227</S> of the guard<S>2876</S> took<S>3947</S> these<S>3212</S>, and brought them to the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> to Riblah<S>7247</S>:


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> struck<S>5221</S> them<S>4191</S>, and killed them at Riblah<S>7247</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>. So Judah<S>3063</S> was carried away<S>1540</S> out of their land<S>127</S>.


text:
And as for the people<S>5971</S> that remained<S>7604</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, whom Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had left<S>7604</S>, even over them he made Gedaliah<S>1436</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahikam<S>296</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan<S>8227</S>, ruler<S>6485</S>.

And when all the captains<S>8269</S> of the armies<S>2428</S>, they and their men<S>582</S>, heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had made Gedaliah<S>1436</S> governor<S>6485</S>, there came<S>935</S> to Gedaliah<S>1436</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>, even Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, and Johanan<S>3110</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Careah<S>7143</S>, and Seraiah<S>8304</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tanhumeth<S>8576</S> the Netophathite<S>5200</S>, and Jaazaniah<S>2970</S> the son<S>1121</S> of a Maachathite<S>4602</S>, they and their men<S>582</S>.


text:
And Gedaliah<S>1436</S> swore<S>7650</S> to them<S>582</S>, and to their men, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3372</S>, Fear not to be the servants<S>5650</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S>: live<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>; and it shall be well with you<S>3190</S>.


text:
But it came to pass in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>, that Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Elishama<S>476</S>, of the seed<S>2233</S> royal<S>4410</S>, came<S>935</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>5221</S>, and struck Gedaliah<S>1436</S>, that he died<S>4191</S>, and the Jews<S>3064</S> and the Chaldees<S>3778</S> that were with him at Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the armies<S>2428</S>, arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Egypt<S>4714</S>: for they were afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> the Chaldees<S>3778</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the seven<S>7651</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of the captivity<S>1546</S> of Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, in the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the seven<S>7651</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, that Evil<S>192</S>–merodach king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> in the year<S>8141</S> that he began to reign<S>4427</S> did lift up<S>5375</S> the head<S>7218</S> of Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> out of prison<S>1004</S>;


text:
And he spoke<S>1696</S> kindly<S>2896</S> to him<S>5414</S>, and set his throne<S>3678</S> above the throne<S>3678</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> that were with him in Babylon<S>894</S>;


text:
And changed<S>8132</S> his prison<S>3608</S> garments<S>899</S>: and he did eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> continually<S>8548</S> before<S>6440</S> him all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And his allowance<S>737</S> was a continual<S>8548</S> allowance<S>737</S> given<S>5414</S> him of the king<S>4428</S>, a daily<S>3117</S> rate<S>1697</S> for every day<S>3117</S>, all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
Now Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; but not like his father<S>1</S>, and like his mother<S>517</S>: for he put away<S>5493</S> the image<S>4676</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> that his father<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
Nevertheless he held<S>1692</S> unto the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, which made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>; he departed not from them<S>5493</S>.


text:
And Mesha<S>4338</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> was a sheepmaster<S>5349</S>, and rendered<S>7725</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> lambs<S>3733</S>, and a hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> rams<S>352</S>, with the wool<S>6785</S>.


text:
But it came to pass<S>256</S>, when Ahab was dead<S>4194</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> rebelled<S>6586</S> against the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> the same time<S>3117</S>, and numbered<S>6485</S> all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> and sent<S>7971</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> has rebelled<S>6586</S> against me<S>3212</S>: will you go with me against Moab<S>4124</S> to battle<S>4421</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I will go up<S>5927</S>: I am as you are<S>5971</S>, my people as your people<S>5971</S>, and my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses<S>5483</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Which way<S>1870</S> shall we go up<S>5927</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, The way<S>1870</S> through the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>: and they went in a circuit<S>5437</S> of seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>' journey<S>1870</S>: and there was no water<S>4325</S> for the army<S>4264</S>, and for the cattle<S>929</S> that followed them<S>7272</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>! that the Lord<S>3068</S> has called<S>7121</S> these three<S>7969</S> kings<S>4428</S> together<S>7121</S>, to deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>!


text:
But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Is there not here a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that we may inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by him<S>259</S>? And one of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Here is Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, which poured<S>3332</S> water<S>4325</S> on the hands<S>3027</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, The word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> is<S>3426</S> with him<S>4428</S>. So the king of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S> went down to him<S>3381</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, What have I to do with you<S>3212</S>? get you to the prophets<S>5030</S> of your father<S>1</S>, and to the prophets<S>5030</S> of your mother<S>517</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, No: for the Lord has called<S>7121</S> these three<S>7969</S> kings<S>4428</S> together<S>7121</S>, to deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, surely<S>3884</S>, were it not that I regard<S>5375</S> the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, I would not look<S>5027</S> toward you<S>7200</S>, nor see you.


text:
But now bring<S>3947</S> me a minstrel<S>5059</S>. And it came to pass<S>5059</S>, when the minstrel played<S>5059</S>, that the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord came upon him<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Make<S>6213</S> this valley<S>5158</S> full of ditches<S>1356</S>.


text:
For thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, You shall not see<S>7200</S> wind<S>7307</S>, neither shall you see<S>7200</S> rain<S>1653</S>; yet that valley<S>5158</S> shall be filled<S>4390</S> with water<S>4325</S>, that you may drink<S>8354</S>, both you<S>4735</S>, and your cattle, and your animals<S>929</S>.


text:
And this is but a light thing<S>7043</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: he will deliver<S>5414</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> also into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And you shall strike<S>5221</S> every fenced<S>4013</S> city<S>5892</S>, and every choice<S>4004</S> city<S>5892</S>, and shall fell<S>5307</S> every good<S>2896</S> tree<S>6086</S>, and stop<S>5640</S> all wells<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and mar<S>3510</S> every good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land with stones<S>68</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, when the food offering<S>4503</S> was offered<S>5927</S>, that<S>935</S>, behold, there came water<S>4325</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, and the country<S>776</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And when all the Moabites<S>4124</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the kings<S>4428</S> were come up<S>5927</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against them<S>6817</S>, they gathered all that were able to put<S>2296</S> on armor<S>2290</S>, and upward<S>4605</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the border<S>1366</S>.


text:
And they rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and the sun<S>8121</S> shone<S>2224</S> upon the water<S>4325</S>, and the Moabites<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> the water<S>4325</S> on the other side<S>5048</S> as red<S>122</S> as blood<S>1818</S>:


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, This is blood<S>1818</S>: the kings<S>4428</S> are surely<S>2717</S> slain<S>2717</S>, and they have struck<S>5221</S> one<S>376</S> another<S>7453</S>: now therefore<S>4124</S>, Moab, to the plunder<S>7998</S>.


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, the Israelites<S>3478</S> rose up<S>6965</S> and struck<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>, so that they fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>5221</S>: but they went forward striking<S>5221</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S>, even in their country.


text:
And they beat down<S>2040</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and on every good<S>2896</S> piece<S>2513</S> of land cast<S>7993</S> every man<S>376</S> his stone<S>68</S>, and filled<S>4390</S> it<S>5640</S>; and they stopped all the wells<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and felled<S>5307</S> all the good<S>2896</S> trees<S>6086</S>: only in Kir<S>7025</S>–haraseth left<S>7604</S> they the stones<S>68</S> there<S>7051</S>; but the slingers went about<S>5437</S> it<S>5221</S>, and struck it.


text:
And when the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the battle<S>4421</S> was too severe<S>2388</S> for him<S>3947</S>, he took with him seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> swords<S>2719</S>, to break through<S>1234</S> even unto the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>: but they could not<S>3201</S>.


text:
Then he took<S>3947</S> his oldest<S>1060</S> son<S>1121</S> that should have reigned<S>4427</S> in his place<S>5927</S>, and offered him for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>. And there was great<S>1419</S> indignation<S>7110</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and they departed<S>5265</S> from him<S>7725</S>, and returned to their own land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now there cried<S>6817</S> a certain<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> of the wives<S>802</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> unto Elisha<S>477</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Your servant<S>5650</S> my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>; and you know<S>3045</S> that your servant<S>5650</S> did fear<S>3373</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>: and the creditor<S>5383</S> is come<S>935</S> to take<S>3947</S> unto him my two<S>8147</S> sons<S>3206</S> to be bondmen<S>5650</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6213</S>, What shall I do for you<S>5046</S>? tell me<S>3426</S>, what have you in the house<S>1004</S>? And she said<S>559</S>, Your handmaid<S>8198</S> has not any thing in the house<S>1004</S>, except a pot<S>610</S> of oil<S>8081</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, borrow<S>7592</S> you vessels<S>3627</S> abroad<S>2351</S> of all your neighbors<S>7934</S>, even empty<S>7386</S> vessels<S>3627</S>; borrow not a few<S>4591</S>.


text:
And when you are come in<S>935</S>, you shall shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S> upon you and upon your sons<S>1121</S>, and shall pour out<S>3332</S> into all those vessels<S>3627</S>, and you shall set aside<S>5265</S> that which is full<S>4392</S>.


text:
So she went<S>3212</S> from him<S>5462</S>, and shut the door<S>1817</S> upon her and upon<S>1157</S> her sons<S>1121</S>, who<S>1992</S> brought<S>5066</S> the vessels to her<S>3332</S>; and she poured out.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3627</S>, when the vessels were full<S>4390</S>, that she said<S>559</S> unto her son<S>1121</S>, Bring<S>5066</S> me yet a vessel<S>3627</S>. And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3627</S>, There is not a vessel more<S>8081</S>. And the oil stopped<S>5975</S>.


text:
Then she came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, sell<S>4376</S> the oil<S>8081</S>, and pay<S>7999</S> your debt<S>5386</S>, and live<S>2421</S> you and your sons<S>1121</S> out of the rest<S>3498</S>.


text:
And it fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> passed<S>5674</S> to Shunem<S>7766</S>, where was a great<S>1419</S> woman<S>802</S>; and she insisted<S>2388</S> that he eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>. And so it was<S>1767</S>, that as often as he passed by<S>5674</S>, he turned<S>5493</S> in there to eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto her husband<S>376</S>, Behold now<S>3045</S>, I perceive that this is a holy<S>6918</S> man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, which passes<S>5674</S> by us continually<S>8548</S>.


text:
Let us make<S>6213</S> a little<S>6996</S> chamber<S>5944</S>, I pray you<S>7023</S>, on the wall; and let us set<S>7760</S> for him there a bed<S>4296</S>, and a table<S>7979</S>, and a stool<S>3678</S>, and a lampstand<S>4501</S>: and it shall be<S>935</S>, when he comes to us<S>5493</S>, that he shall turn in there.


text:
And it fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that he came<S>935</S> there<S>5493</S>, and he turned into the chamber<S>5944</S>, and lay there<S>7901</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant<S>5288</S>, Call<S>7121</S> this Shunammite<S>7767</S>. And when he had called<S>7121</S> her<S>5975</S>, she stood before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Say now unto her<S>2729</S>, Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care<S>2731</S>; what is to be done<S>6213</S> for you<S>3426</S>? would you be spoken<S>1696</S> for to the king<S>4428</S>, or to the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>? And she answered<S>559</S>, I live<S>3427</S> among<S>8432</S> my own people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What then is to be done<S>6213</S> for her<S>1522</S>? And Gehazi answered<S>559</S>, Truly<S>61</S> she has no child<S>1121</S>, and her husband<S>376</S> is old<S>2204</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> her<S>7121</S>. And when he had called her<S>5975</S>, she stood in the door<S>6607</S>.

And he said<S>559</S>, About this season<S>4150</S>, according to the time<S>6256</S> of life<S>2416</S>, you shall embrace<S>2263</S> a son<S>1121</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, No<S>113</S>, my lord, you man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, do not lie<S>3576</S> unto your handmaid<S>8198</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> conceived<S>2029</S>, and bare<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S> at that season<S>4150</S> that Elisha<S>477</S> had said<S>1696</S> unto her<S>6256</S>, according to the time of life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And when the child<S>3206</S> was grown<S>1431</S>, it happened one day<S>3117</S> that he went out<S>3318</S> to his father<S>1</S> to the reapers<S>7114</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his father<S>1</S>, My head<S>7218</S>, my head<S>7218</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to a lad<S>5288</S>, Carry<S>5375</S> him to his mother<S>517</S>.


text:
And when he had taken<S>5375</S> him<S>935</S>, and brought him to his mother<S>517</S>, he sat<S>3427</S> on her knees<S>1290</S> until noon<S>6672</S>, and then died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And she went up<S>5927</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him on the bed<S>4296</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> the door upon him<S>3318</S>, and went out.


text:
And she called<S>7121</S> unto her husband<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send<S>7971</S> me<S>259</S>, I pray you, one of the young men<S>5288</S>, and one<S>259</S> of the donkeys<S>860</S>, that I may run<S>7323</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and come again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Therefore will you go<S>1980</S> to him to day<S>3117</S>? it is neither new moon<S>2320</S>, nor sabbath<S>7676</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, It shall be well<S>7965</S>.


text:
Then she saddled<S>2280</S> a donkey<S>860</S>, and said<S>559</S> to her servant<S>5288</S>, Drive<S>5090</S>, and go forward<S>3212</S>; slow<S>6113</S> not your riding<S>7392</S> for me<S>559</S>, unless I ask you.


text:
So she went<S>3212</S> and came<S>935</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to mountain<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>. And it came to pass<S>376</S>, when the man of God<S>430</S> saw her afar off<S>7200</S>, that he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S> his servant<S>5288</S>, Behold<S>1975</S>, yonder is that Shunammite<S>7767</S>:


text:
Run<S>7323</S> now<S>7125</S>, I pray you, to meet her<S>559</S>, and say unto her<S>7965</S>, Is it well with you<S>7965</S>? is it well with your husband<S>376</S>? is it well<S>7965</S> with the child<S>3206</S>? And she answered<S>559</S>, It is well<S>7965</S>.


text:
And when she came<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to the hill<S>2022</S>, she caught<S>2388</S> him by the feet<S>7272</S>: but Gehazi<S>1522</S> came near<S>5066</S> to thrust her away<S>1920</S>. And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, Let her alone<S>7503</S>; for her soul<S>5315</S> is troubled<S>4843</S> inside her<S>3068</S>: and the Lord has hid<S>5956</S> it from me<S>5046</S>, and has not told me.


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, Did I desire<S>7592</S> a son<S>1121</S> of my lord<S>113</S>? did I not say<S>559</S>, Do not deceive me<S>7952</S>?


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to Gehazi<S>1522</S>, Clothe up<S>2296</S> your body<S>4975</S>, and take<S>3947</S> my staff<S>4938</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go your way<S>3212</S>: if you meet<S>4672</S> any man<S>376</S>, greet<S>1288</S> him not<S>376</S>; and if any greet<S>1288</S> you<S>6030</S>, answer him not again: and lay<S>7760</S> my staff<S>4938</S> upon the face<S>6440</S> of the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
And the mother<S>517</S> of the child<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not leave<S>5800</S> you<S>6965</S>. And he arose, and followed her<S>3212</S>.


text:
And Gehazi<S>1522</S> passed on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>7760</S>, and laid the staff<S>4938</S> upon the face<S>6440</S> of the child<S>5288</S>; but there was neither voice<S>6963</S>, nor hearing<S>7182</S>. Therefore he went again<S>7725</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>5046</S>, and told him<S>559</S>, saying, The child<S>5288</S> is not awaked<S>6974</S>.


text:
And when Elisha<S>477</S> was come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, behold<S>5288</S>, the child was dead<S>4191</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> upon his bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
He went in<S>935</S> therefore<S>5462</S>, and shut the door<S>1817</S> upon them two<S>8147</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he went up<S>5927</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> upon the child<S>3206</S>, and put<S>7760</S> his mouth<S>6310</S> upon his mouth<S>6310</S>, and his eyes<S>5869</S> upon his eyes<S>5869</S>, and his hands<S>3709</S> upon his hands<S>3709</S>: and he stretched<S>1457</S> himself upon the child<S>1320</S>; and the flesh of the child<S>3206</S> grew warm<S>2552</S>.


text:
Then he returned<S>7725</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the house<S>1004</S> to<S>259</S> and forth<S>259</S>; and went up<S>5927</S>, and stretched<S>1457</S> himself upon him<S>5288</S>: and the child sneezed<S>2237</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>, and the child<S>5288</S> opened<S>6491</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> Gehazi<S>1522</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> this Shunammite<S>7767</S>. So he called<S>7121</S> her<S>935</S>. And when she was come in unto him<S>559</S>, he said, Take up<S>5375</S> your son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Then she went in<S>935</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>, and took up<S>5375</S> her son<S>1121</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> came again<S>7725</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>: and there was a famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>; and the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>: and he said unto his servant<S>5288</S>, Set<S>8239</S> on the great<S>1419</S> pot<S>5518</S>, and boil<S>1310</S> stew<S>5138</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> to gather<S>3950</S> herbs<S>219</S>, and found<S>4672</S> a wild<S>7704</S> vine<S>1612</S>, and gathered<S>3950</S> of it wild<S>7704</S> gourds<S>6498</S>, a lap<S>899</S> full<S>4393</S>, and came<S>935</S> and shred<S>6398</S> them into the pot<S>5518</S> of stew<S>5138</S>: for they knew them not<S>3045</S>.


text:
So they poured out<S>3332</S> for the men<S>582</S> to eat<S>398</S>. And it came to pass<S>398</S>, as they were eating of the stew<S>5138</S>, that they cried out<S>6817</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O you man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, there is death<S>4194</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>. And they could<S>3201</S> not eat there<S>398</S>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, Then bring<S>3947</S> meal<S>7058</S>. And he cast<S>7993</S> it into the pot<S>5518</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Pour out<S>3332</S> for the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>. And there was no harm<S>1697</S> in the pot<S>5518</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> from Baal<S>1190</S>–shalisha, and brought<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> bread<S>3899</S> of the firstfruits<S>1061</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> loaves<S>3899</S> of barley<S>8184</S>, and full ears of corn<S>3759</S> in the husk<S>6861</S> there<S>559</S>. And he said, Give<S>5414</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>.


text:
And his servant<S>8334</S> said<S>559</S>, What<S>5414</S>, should I set this before<S>6440</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>? He said again<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> the people<S>5971</S>, that they may eat<S>398</S>: for thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, They shall eat<S>398</S>, and shall leave there<S>3498</S>.


text:
So he set<S>5414</S> it before<S>6440</S> them<S>398</S>, and they did eat, and left<S>3498</S> there<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now Naaman<S>5283</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, was a great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S> with<S>6440</S> his master<S>113</S>, and honorable<S>5375</S>, because by him the Lord<S>3068</S> had given<S>5414</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> unto Syria<S>758</S>: he was also a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> in valor<S>2428</S>, but he was a leper<S>6879</S>.


text:
And the Syrians<S>758</S> had gone out<S>3318</S> by companies<S>1416</S>, and had brought away captive<S>7617</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a little<S>6996</S> maid<S>5291</S>; and she waited on<S>6440</S> Naaman<S>5283</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto her mistress<S>1404</S>, Would<S>305</S> God my lord<S>113</S> were with<S>6440</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> that is in Samaria<S>8111</S>! for<S>227</S> he would cure<S>622</S> him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>.


text:
And one went in<S>935</S>, and told<S>5046</S> his lord<S>113</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus and thus said<S>1696</S> the maid<S>5291</S> that is of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S>, Go now<S>3212</S>, go<S>935</S>, and I will send<S>7971</S> a letter<S>5612</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And he departed<S>3212</S>, and took<S>3947</S> with him<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> pieces of gold<S>2091</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> changes<S>2487</S> of clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> the letter<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Now when this letter<S>5612</S> is come<S>935</S> unto you<S>7971</S>, behold, I have with it sent Naaman<S>5283</S> my servant<S>5650</S> to you<S>622</S>, that you may cure him of his leprosy<S>6883</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king of Israel<S>3478</S> had read<S>7121</S> the letter<S>5612</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Am I God<S>430</S>, to kill<S>4191</S> and to make alive<S>2421</S>, that this man<S>2088</S> does send<S>7971</S> unto me to cure<S>622</S> a man<S>376</S> of his leprosy<S>6883</S>? therefore<S>389</S> consider<S>3045</S>, I pray you<S>7200</S>, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me<S>579</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>477</S>, when Elisha the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had heard<S>8085</S> that the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had torn<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, that he sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why have you torn<S>7167</S> your clothes<S>899</S>? let him come<S>935</S> now to me<S>3045</S>, and he shall know that there is<S>3426</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So Naaman<S>5283</S> came<S>935</S> with his horses<S>5483</S> and with his chariot<S>7393</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Go<S>1980</S> and wash<S>7364</S> in Jordan<S>3383</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>, and your flesh<S>1320</S> shall come again<S>7725</S> to you<S>2891</S>, and you shall be clean.


text:
But Naaman<S>5283</S> was angry<S>7107</S>, and went away<S>3212</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>559</S>, I thought, He will surely<S>3318</S> come out<S>3318</S> to me<S>5975</S>, and stand, and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and strike<S>5130</S> his hand<S>3027</S> over the place<S>4725</S>, and recover<S>622</S> the leper<S>6879</S>.


text:
Are not Abana<S>71</S> and Pharpar<S>6554</S>, rivers<S>5104</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, better<S>2896</S> than all the waters<S>4325</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? may I not wash<S>7364</S> in them<S>2891</S>, and be clean? So he turned<S>6437</S> and went away<S>3212</S> in a rage<S>2534</S>.


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, My father<S>1</S>, if the prophet<S>5030</S> had bid<S>1696</S> you do some great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, would you not have done<S>6213</S> it<S>637</S>? how much rather then, when he says<S>559</S> to you<S>7364</S>, Wash, and be clean<S>2891</S>?


text:
Then went he down<S>3381</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> himself seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S> in Jordan<S>3383</S>, according to the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: and his flesh<S>1320</S> came again<S>7725</S> like unto the flesh<S>1320</S> of a little<S>6996</S> child<S>5288</S>, and he was clean<S>2891</S>.


text:
And he returned<S>7725</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, he and all his company<S>4264</S>, and came<S>935</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>: and he said, Behold<S>3045</S>, now I know that there is no God<S>430</S> in all the earth<S>776</S>, but in Israel<S>3478</S>: now therefore<S>3947</S>, I pray you, take a blessing<S>1293</S> of your servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will receive<S>3947</S> none<S>6484</S>. And he urged him to take<S>3947</S> it<S>3985</S>; but he refused.


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, Shall there not then<S>5414</S>, I pray you, be given to your servant<S>5650</S> two<S>6776</S> mules<S>6505</S>' burden<S>4853</S> of earth<S>127</S>? for your servant<S>5650</S> will henceforth offer<S>6213</S> neither burnt offering<S>5930</S> nor sacrifice<S>2077</S> unto other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, but unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
In this thing<S>1697</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> your servant<S>5650</S>, that when my master<S>113</S> goes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> to worship<S>7812</S> there<S>8172</S>, and he leans on my hand<S>3027</S>, and I bow<S>7812</S> myself in the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>: when I bow down<S>7812</S> myself in the house<S>1004</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> pardon<S>5545</S> your servant<S>5650</S> in this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go in peace<S>7965</S>. So he departed<S>3212</S> from him a little<S>3530</S> way<S>776</S>.


text:
But Gehazi<S>1522</S>, the servant<S>5288</S> of Elisha<S>477</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>113</S>, my master has spared<S>2820</S> Naaman<S>5283</S> this Syrian<S>761</S>, in not receiving<S>3947</S> at his hands<S>3027</S> that which he brought<S>935</S>: but<S>3068</S>, as the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, I will run<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>3947</S>, and take something of him<S>3972</S>.


text:
So Gehazi<S>1522</S> followed<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Naaman<S>5283</S>. And when Naaman<S>5283</S> saw<S>7200</S> him running<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>, he alighted down from the chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Is all well<S>7965</S>?

And he said<S>559</S>, All is well<S>7965</S>. My master<S>113</S> has sent<S>7971</S> me<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>935</S>, even now there be come to me from mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S> two<S>8147</S> young men<S>5288</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>: give<S>5414</S> them<S>3603</S>, please, a talent of silver<S>3701</S>, and two<S>8147</S> changes<S>2487</S> of garments<S>899</S>.


text:
And Naaman<S>5283</S> said<S>559</S>, Be content<S>2974</S>, take<S>3947</S> two talents<S>3603</S>. And he urged<S>6555</S> him<S>6696</S>, and bound two<S>8147</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> in two<S>8147</S> bags<S>2754</S>, with two<S>8147</S> changes<S>2487</S> of garments<S>899</S>, and laid<S>5414</S> them upon two<S>8147</S> of his servants<S>5288</S>; and they carried<S>5375</S> them before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S> to the tower<S>6076</S>, he took<S>3947</S> them from their hand<S>3027</S>, and stored<S>6485</S> them in the house<S>1004</S>: and he let the men<S>582</S> go<S>7971</S>, and they departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
But he went in<S>935</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before his master<S>113</S>. And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>370</S>, From Where come you<S>1522</S>, Gehazi? And he said<S>559</S>, Your servant<S>5650</S> went<S>1980</S> no where<S>575</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1980</S>, Went not my heart<S>3820</S> with you<S>376</S>, when the man turned<S>2015</S> again from his chariot<S>4818</S> to meet<S>7125</S> you<S>6256</S>? Is it a time to receive<S>3947</S> money<S>3701</S>, and to receive<S>3947</S> garments<S>899</S>, and oliveyards<S>2132</S>, and vineyards<S>3754</S>, and sheep<S>6629</S>, and oxen<S>1241</S>, and menservants<S>5650</S>, and maidservants<S>8198</S>?


text:
The leprosy<S>6883</S> therefore of Naaman<S>5283</S> shall cleave<S>1692</S> unto you<S>2233</S>, and unto your seed for ever<S>5769</S>. And he went out<S>3318</S> from his presence<S>6440</S> a leper<S>6879</S> as white as snow<S>7950</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> unto<S>6440</S> Elisha<S>477</S>, Behold now<S>4725</S>, the place where we live<S>3427</S> with you is too narrow for us<S>6862</S>.


text:
Let us go<S>3212</S>, we pray you<S>3383</S>, unto Jordan, and take<S>3947</S> there every man<S>376</S> a<S>259</S> log<S>6982</S>, and let us make<S>6213</S> us a place<S>4725</S> there<S>3427</S>, where we may live. And he answered<S>559</S>, Go you<S>3212</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> said<S>559</S>, Be content<S>2974</S>, I pray you<S>3212</S>, and go with your servants<S>5650</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, I will go<S>3212</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> with them<S>935</S>. And when they came to Jordan<S>3383</S>, they cut down<S>1504</S> wood<S>6086</S>.


text:
But as one<S>259</S> was felling<S>5307</S> a log<S>6982</S>, the axe head<S>1270</S> fell<S>5307</S> into the water<S>4325</S>: and he cried<S>6817</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>, master<S>113</S>! for it was borrowed<S>7592</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, Where<S>575</S> fell<S>5307</S> it<S>7200</S>? And he showed him the place<S>4725</S>. And he cut down<S>7094</S> a stick<S>6086</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> it in there<S>1270</S>; and the iron did float<S>6687</S>.


text:
Therefore said<S>559</S> he<S>7311</S>, Take it up to you<S>7971</S>. And he put out his hand<S>3027</S>, and took it<S>3947</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> warred<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and took counsel<S>3289</S> with his servants<S>5650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, In such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S> shall be my camp<S>8466</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> sent<S>7971</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Beware<S>8104</S> that you pass<S>5674</S> not such<S>2088</S> a place<S>4725</S>; for there the Syrians<S>758</S> are come down<S>5185</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the place<S>4725</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> told<S>559</S> him and warned<S>2094</S> him of<S>8104</S>, and saved himself there<S>259</S>, not once nor twice<S>8147</S>.


text:
Therefore the heart<S>3820</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was severe troubled<S>5590</S> for this thing<S>1697</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5046</S>, Will you not show me which of us is for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And one<S>259</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S>, None<S>113</S>, my lord, O king<S>4428</S>: but Elisha<S>477</S>, the prophet<S>5030</S> that is in Israel<S>3478</S>, tells<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> the words<S>1697</S> that you speak<S>1696</S> in your bedroom<S>2315</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and spy<S>7200</S> where<S>351</S> he is<S>7971</S>, that I may send and fetch<S>3947</S> him<S>5046</S>. And it was told him<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>1886</S>, he is in Dothan.


text:
Therefore sent<S>7971</S> he there horses<S>5483</S>, and chariots<S>7393</S>, and a great<S>3515</S> army<S>2428</S>: and they came<S>935</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and surrounded<S>5362</S> the city<S>5892</S> about<S>5362</S>.


text:
And when the servant<S>8334</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> was risen<S>6965</S> early<S>7925</S>, and gone forth<S>3318</S>, behold<S>2428</S>, a army surrounded<S>5437</S> the city<S>5892</S> both with horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S>. And his servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>162</S>, Alas, my master<S>113</S>! how shall we do<S>6213</S>?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not<S>7227</S>: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, I pray you<S>6491</S>, open his eyes<S>5869</S>, that he may see<S>7200</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of the young man<S>5288</S>; and he saw<S>7200</S>: and<S>2022</S>, behold, the mountain was full<S>4390</S> of horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S> of fire<S>784</S> round about<S>5439</S> Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
And when they came down<S>3381</S> to him<S>477</S>, Elisha prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Strike<S>5221</S> this people<S>1471</S>, I pray you<S>5575</S>, with blindness. And he struck<S>5221</S> them with blindness<S>5575</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Elisha<S>477</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1870</S>, This is not the way, neither is this<S>2090</S> the city<S>5892</S>: follow<S>3212</S> me<S>3212</S>, and I will bring you to the man<S>376</S> whom you seek<S>1245</S>. But he led<S>3212</S> them to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when they were come into Samaria<S>8111</S>, that Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, open<S>6491</S> the eyes<S>5869</S> of these men<S>7200</S>, that they may see. And the Lord<S>3068</S> opened<S>6491</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and they saw<S>7200</S>; and<S>8432</S>, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Elisha<S>477</S>, when he saw<S>7200</S> them<S>1</S>, My father, shall I strike<S>5221</S> them<S>5221</S>? shall I strike them?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, You shall not strike<S>5221</S> them<S>5221</S>: would you strike those whom you have taken captive<S>7617</S> with your sword<S>2719</S> and with your bow<S>7198</S>? set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>398</S>, that they may eat and drink<S>8354</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>.


text:
And he prepared<S>3739</S> great<S>1419</S> provision<S>3740</S> for them<S>398</S>: and when they had eaten and drunk<S>8354</S>, he sent them away<S>7971</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> to their master<S>113</S>. So the bands<S>1416</S> of Syria<S>758</S> came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his army<S>4264</S>, and went up<S>5927</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And there was a great<S>1419</S> famine<S>7458</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>: and<S>6696</S>, behold, they besieged it<S>2543</S>, until a ass's head<S>7218</S> was sold for eighty<S>8084</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and the fourth part<S>7255</S> of a cab<S>6894</S> of dove<S>3123</S>'s dung for five<S>2568</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
And as the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> was passing by<S>5674</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>, there cried<S>6817</S> a woman<S>802</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Help<S>3467</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, If the Lord<S>3068</S> do not help<S>3467</S> you<S>370</S>, from where shall I help<S>3467</S> you<S>1637</S>? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress<S>3342</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>559</S>, What ails you? And she answered, This woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto me<S>5414</S>, Give your son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> him to day<S>3117</S>, and we will eat<S>398</S> my son<S>1121</S> to morrow<S>4279</S>.


text:
So we boiled<S>1310</S> my son<S>1121</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> him<S>559</S>: and I said unto her on the next<S>312</S> day<S>3117</S>, Give<S>5414</S> your son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> him<S>2244</S>: and she has hid her son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the woman<S>802</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>; and he passed by<S>5674</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>8242</S>, behold, he had sackcloth inside<S>1004</S> upon his flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so and more<S>3254</S> also to me<S>7218</S>, if the head of Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> shall stand<S>5975</S> on him this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But Elisha<S>477</S> sat<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> sat<S>3427</S> with him<S>7971</S>; and the king sent a man<S>376</S> from before<S>6440</S> him<S>4397</S>: but before the messenger came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, he said to the elders<S>2205</S>, See<S>7200</S> you how this son<S>1121</S> of a murderer<S>7523</S> has sent<S>7971</S> to take away<S>5493</S> my head<S>7218</S>? look<S>7200</S>, when the messenger<S>4397</S> comes<S>935</S>, shut<S>5462</S> the door<S>1817</S>, and hold him fast<S>3905</S> at the door<S>1817</S>: is not the sound<S>6963</S> of his master<S>113</S>'s feet<S>7272</S> behind him<S>310</S>?


text:
And while he yet talked<S>1696</S> with them<S>4397</S>, behold, the messenger came down<S>3381</S> unto him<S>559</S>: and he said, Behold<S>7451</S>, this evil is of the Lord<S>3068</S>; what should I wait<S>3176</S> for the Lord any longer<S>3068</S>?


text:
Then Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> you the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> shall a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> be sold for a shekel<S>8255</S>, and two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Then a lord<S>7991</S> on whose hand<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> leaned<S>8172</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>3068</S>, if the Lord would make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>, might this thing<S>1697</S> be<S>559</S>? And he said, Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see it with your eyes<S>5869</S>, but shall not eat there<S>398</S>.


text:
And there were four<S>702</S> leprous<S>6879</S> men<S>582</S> at the entering in<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, Why sit<S>3427</S> we here until we die<S>4191</S>?


text:
If we say<S>559</S>, We will enter<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, then the famine<S>7458</S> is in the city<S>5892</S>, and we shall die<S>4191</S> there<S>3427</S>: and if we sit still here<S>4191</S>, we die also<S>3212</S>. Now therefore come, and let us fall<S>5307</S> unto the army<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>: if they save us alive<S>2421</S>, we shall live<S>2421</S>; and if they kill<S>4191</S> us<S>4191</S>, we shall but die.


text:
And they rose up<S>6965</S> in the twilight<S>5399</S>, to go<S>935</S> unto the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>: and when they were come<S>935</S> to the outermost part<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, behold<S>376</S>, there was no man there.


text:
For the Lord<S>136</S> had made the army<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> to hear<S>8085</S> a noise<S>6963</S> of chariots<S>7393</S>, and a noise<S>6963</S> of horses<S>5483</S>, even the noise<S>6963</S> of a great<S>1419</S> army<S>2428</S>: and they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>251</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king of Israel<S>3478</S> has hired<S>7936</S> against us the kings<S>4428</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the kings<S>4428</S> of the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, to come upon us<S>935</S>.


text:
Therefore they arose<S>6965</S> and fled<S>5127</S> in the twilight<S>5399</S>, and left<S>5800</S> their tents<S>168</S>, and their horses<S>5483</S>, and their donkeys<S>2543</S>, even the camp<S>4264</S> as it was<S>5127</S>, and fled for their life<S>5315</S>.


text:
And when these lepers<S>6879</S> came<S>935</S> to the outermost part<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S>, they went<S>935</S> into one<S>259</S> tent<S>168</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> there silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and clothes<S>899</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and hid<S>2934</S> it<S>7725</S>; and came again, and entered<S>935</S> into another<S>312</S> tent<S>168</S>, and carried<S>5375</S> there also<S>3212</S>, and went and hid it<S>2934</S>.


text:
Then they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, We do<S>6213</S> not well<S>3117</S>: this day is a day<S>3117</S> of good news<S>1309</S>, and we hold our peace<S>2814</S>: if we stay<S>2442</S> until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, some mischief<S>5771</S> will come<S>4672</S> upon us<S>3212</S>: now therefore come, that we may go<S>935</S> and tell<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S>.


text:
So they came<S>935</S> and called<S>7121</S> unto the porter<S>7778</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and they told<S>5046</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, We came<S>935</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and<S>376</S>, behold, there was no man there<S>6963</S>, neither voice of man<S>120</S>, but horses<S>5483</S> tied<S>631</S>, and donkeys<S>2543</S> tied<S>631</S>, and the tents as they were<S>168</S>.


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> the porters<S>7778</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> it to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> inside<S>6441</S>.

And the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S> in the night<S>3915</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, I will now show<S>5046</S> you what the Syrians<S>758</S> have done<S>6213</S> to us<S>3045</S>. They know that we are hungry<S>7457</S>; therefore are they gone out<S>3318</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> to hide<S>2247</S> themselves in the field<S>7704</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When they come out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, we shall catch<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>, and get<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Let some take<S>3947</S>, I pray you<S>2568</S>, five of the horses<S>5483</S> that remain<S>7604</S>, which are left<S>7604</S> in the city<S>1995</S>, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel<S>3478</S> that are left<S>7604</S> in it<S>1995</S>: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites<S>3478</S> that are consumed<S>8552</S>:) and let us send<S>7971</S> and see<S>7200</S>.


text:
They took<S>3947</S> therefore two<S>8147</S> chariot<S>7393</S> horses<S>5483</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> after<S>310</S> the army<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and see<S>7200</S>.


text:
And they went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> them unto Jordan<S>3383</S>: and<S>1870</S>, behold, all the way was full<S>4392</S> of garments<S>899</S> and vessels<S>3627</S>, which the Syrians<S>758</S> had cast away<S>7993</S> in their haste<S>2648</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and spoiled<S>962</S> the tents<S>4264</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>. So a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> was sold for a shekel<S>8255</S>, and two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> appointed<S>6485</S> the lord<S>7991</S> on whose hand<S>3027</S> he leaned<S>8172</S> to have the charge of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> trod<S>7429</S> upon him in the gate<S>8179</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>, as the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had said<S>1696</S>, who spoke<S>1696</S> when the king<S>4428</S> came down to him<S>3381</S>.


text:
And it came to pass as the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Two measures<S>5429</S> of barley<S>8184</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, and a measure<S>5429</S> of fine flour<S>5560</S> for a shekel<S>8255</S>, shall be to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>:


text:
And that lord<S>7991</S> answered<S>6030</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Now<S>3068</S>, behold, if the Lord should make<S>6213</S> windows<S>699</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>, might such a thing<S>1697</S> be<S>559</S>? And he said, Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see it with your eyes<S>5869</S>, but shall not eat there<S>398</S>.


text:
And so it fell out unto him<S>5971</S>: for the people trod<S>7429</S> upon him in the gate<S>8179</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then spoke<S>1696</S> Elisha<S>477</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> he had restored to life<S>2421</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and go<S>3212</S> you and your household<S>1004</S>, and live<S>1481</S> wherever<S>834</S> you can live<S>1481</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has called<S>7121</S> for a famine<S>7458</S>; and it shall also come<S>935</S> upon the land<S>776</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and did<S>6213</S> after the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: and she went<S>3212</S> with her household<S>1004</S>, and stayed<S>1481</S> in the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>' end<S>7097</S>, that the woman<S>802</S> returned<S>7725</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and she went forth<S>3318</S> to cry<S>6817</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> talked<S>1696</S> with Gehazi<S>1522</S> the servant<S>5288</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5608</S> me<S>1419</S>, I pray you, all the great things that Elisha<S>477</S> has done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>5608</S>, as he was telling the king<S>4428</S> how he had restored<S>2421</S> a dead body<S>4191</S> to life<S>2421</S>, that<S>802</S>, behold, the woman, whose son<S>1121</S> he had restored to life<S>2421</S>, cried<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for her house<S>1004</S> and for her land<S>7704</S>. And Gehazi<S>1522</S> said<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, this is the woman<S>802</S>, and this is her son<S>1121</S>, whom Elisha<S>477</S> restored to life<S>2421</S>.


text:
And when the king<S>4428</S> asked<S>7592</S> the woman<S>802</S>, she told<S>5608</S> him<S>4428</S>. So the king appointed<S>5414</S> unto her a certain<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Restore<S>7725</S> all that was hers<S>8393</S>, and all the fruits of the field<S>7704</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that she left<S>5800</S> the land<S>776</S>, even until now.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> came<S>935</S> to Damascus<S>1834</S>; and Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> was sick<S>2470</S>; and it was told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> is come<S>935</S> here<S>2008</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Hazael<S>2371</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a present<S>4503</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go<S>3212</S>, meet<S>7125</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> by him<S>559</S>, saying, Shall I recover<S>2421</S> of this disease<S>2483</S>?


text:
So Hazael<S>2371</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>3947</S>, and took a present<S>4503</S> with him<S>3027</S>, even of every good thing<S>2898</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, forty<S>705</S> camels<S>1581</S>' burden<S>4853</S>, and came<S>935</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Your son<S>1121</S> Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> has sent<S>7971</S> me to you<S>559</S>, saying, Shall I recover<S>2421</S> of this disease<S>2483</S>?


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, say<S>559</S> unto him<S>2421</S>, You may certainly recover<S>2421</S>: but the Lord<S>3068</S> has showed<S>7200</S> me that he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he settled<S>5975</S> his gaze<S>6440</S> steadfastly<S>7760</S> on him until he was ashamed<S>954</S>: and the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, Why weeps<S>1058</S> my lord<S>113</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, Because I know<S>3045</S> the evil<S>7451</S> that you will do<S>6213</S> unto the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: their strong holds<S>4013</S> will you set<S>7971</S> on fire<S>784</S>, and their young men<S>970</S> will you kill<S>2026</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and will dash<S>7376</S> their sons<S>5768</S>, and rip up<S>1234</S> their women with child<S>2030</S>.


text:
And Hazael<S>2371</S> said<S>559</S>, But what<S>5650</S>, is your servant a dog<S>3611</S>, that he should do<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>? And Elisha<S>477</S> answered<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> has showed<S>7200</S> me that you shall be king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>.


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> from Elisha<S>477</S>, and came<S>935</S> to his master<S>113</S>; who said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, What said Elisha<S>477</S> to you<S>559</S>? And he answered, He told<S>559</S> me that you should surely<S>2421</S> recover<S>2421</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the next day<S>4283</S>, that he took<S>3947</S> a thick cloth<S>4346</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> it in water<S>4325</S>, and spread<S>6566</S> it on his face<S>6440</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>: and Hazael<S>2371</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
And in the fifth<S>2568</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> being then king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
Thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as did<S>6213</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> was his wife<S>802</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yet the Lord<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> Judah<S>3063</S> for David<S>1732</S> his servant<S>5650</S>'s sake<S>559</S>, as he promised him to give<S>5414</S> him always<S>3117</S> a light<S>5216</S>, and to his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made<S>4427</S> a king over themselves<S>4428</S>.


text:
So Joram<S>3141</S> went over<S>5674</S> to Zair<S>6811</S>, and all the chariots<S>7393</S> with him<S>6965</S>: and he rose by night<S>3915</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Edomites<S>123</S> which surrounded him about<S>5437</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> fled<S>5127</S> into their tents<S>168</S>.


text:
Yet Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>. Then Libnah<S>3841</S> revolted<S>6586</S> at the same<S>1931</S> time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Joram<S>3141</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And Joram<S>3141</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Ahaziah<S>274</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the twelfth<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> begin to reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
Two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaziah<S>274</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Athaliah<S>6271</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as did the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>: for he was the son in law<S>2860</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> with Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> to the war<S>4421</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> in Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead; and the Syrians<S>761</S> wounded<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3141</S> went back<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> of the wounds<S>4347</S> which the Syrians<S>761</S> had given<S>5221</S> him at Ramah<S>7414</S>, when he fought<S>3898</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>. And Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, because he was sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And Elisha<S>477</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> called<S>7121</S> one<S>259</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2296</S>, Belt up your waist<S>4975</S>, and take<S>3947</S> this box<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead:


text:
And when you come<S>935</S> there<S>7200</S>, look out there Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>, and go in<S>935</S>, and make him stand up<S>6965</S> from among<S>8432</S> his brothers<S>251</S>, and bring<S>935</S> him to a inner<S>2315</S> chamber<S>2315</S>;


text:
Then take<S>3947</S> the box<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and pour<S>3332</S> it on his head<S>7218</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, I have anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>. Then open<S>6605</S> the door<S>1817</S>, and flee<S>5127</S>, and stay not<S>2442</S>.


text:
So the young man<S>5288</S>, even the young man<S>5288</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, went<S>3212</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead.


text:
And when he came<S>935</S>, behold<S>8269</S>, the captains of the army<S>2428</S> were sitting<S>3427</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, I have a message<S>1697</S> for you<S>8269</S>, O captain. And Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, Unto which of all us<S>559</S>? And he said, To you<S>8269</S>, O captain.


text:
And he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>; and he poured<S>3332</S> the oil<S>8081</S> on his head<S>7218</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I have anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over the people<S>5971</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, even over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And you shall strike<S>5221</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> your master<S>113</S>, that I may avenge<S>5358</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of my servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>, and the blood<S>1818</S> of all the servants<S>5650</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, at the hand<S>3027</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S>.


text:
For the whole house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> shall perish<S>6</S>: and I will cut off<S>3772</S> from Ahab<S>256</S> him that urinates<S>8366</S> against the wall<S>7023</S>, and him that is shut up<S>6113</S> and left<S>5800</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>:

And I will make<S>5414</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and like the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>:


text:
And the dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> in the portion<S>2506</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and there shall be none to bury<S>6912</S> her<S>6605</S>. And he opened the door<S>1817</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
Then Jehu<S>3058</S> came forth<S>3318</S> to the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>: and one said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7965</S>, Is all well? therefore came<S>935</S> this mad<S>7696</S> fellow to you<S>559</S>? And he said unto them<S>3045</S>, You know the man<S>376</S>, and his communication<S>7879</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, It is false<S>8267</S>; tell<S>5046</S> us now<S>559</S>. And he said, Thus and thus spoke<S>559</S> he to me<S>559</S>, saying, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, I have anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then they hurried<S>4116</S>, and took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his garment<S>899</S>, and put<S>7760</S> it under him on the top<S>1634</S> of the stairs<S>4609</S>, and blew<S>8628</S> with trumpets<S>7782</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S> is king<S>4427</S>.


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against Joram<S>3141</S>. (Now Joram<S>3141</S> had kept<S>8104</S> Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead, he and all Israel<S>3478</S>, because<S>6440</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>.


text:
But king<S>4428</S> Joram<S>3088</S> was returned<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> of the wounds<S>4347</S> which the Syrians<S>761</S> had given<S>5221</S> him<S>3898</S>, when he fought with Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>.) And Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, If it be<S>3426</S> your minds<S>5315</S>, then let none<S>408</S> go forth<S>3318</S> nor escape<S>6412</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> to go<S>3212</S> to tell<S>5046</S> it in Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
So Jehu<S>3058</S> rode in a chariot<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>; for Joram<S>3141</S> lay<S>7901</S> there<S>274</S>. And Ahaziah king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> was come down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
And there stood<S>5975</S> a watchman<S>6822</S> on the tower<S>4026</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and he spied<S>7200</S> the company<S>8229</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> as he came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I see<S>7200</S> a company<S>8229</S>. And Joram<S>3088</S> said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a horseman<S>7395</S>, and send<S>7971</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>559</S>, and let him say, Is it peace<S>7965</S>?


text:
So there went<S>3212</S> one on horseback<S>7392</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Is it peace<S>7965</S>? And Jehu<S>3058</S> said<S>559</S>, What have you to do with peace<S>7965</S>? turn<S>5437</S> you behind<S>310</S> me<S>6822</S>. And the watchman told<S>5046</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to them<S>7725</S>, but he comes not again.


text:
Then he sent out<S>7971</S> a second<S>8145</S> on horseback<S>7392</S>, which came<S>935</S> to them<S>559</S>, and said, Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Is it peace<S>7965</S>? And Jehu<S>3058</S> answered<S>559</S>, What have you to do with peace<S>7965</S>? turn<S>5437</S> you behind me<S>310</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> told<S>5046</S>, saying<S>559</S>, He came<S>935</S> even unto them<S>7725</S>, and comes not again: and the driving<S>4491</S> is like the driving<S>4491</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>; for he drives<S>5090</S> furiously<S>7697</S>.


text:
And Joram<S>3088</S> said<S>559</S>, Make ready<S>631</S>. And his chariot<S>7393</S> was made ready<S>631</S>. And Joram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went out<S>3318</S>, each<S>376</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>, and met<S>4672</S> him in the portion<S>2513</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3088</S>, when Joram saw<S>7200</S> Jehu<S>3058</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Is it peace<S>7965</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, What peace<S>7965</S>, so long as<S>5704</S> the whoredoms<S>2183</S> of your mother<S>517</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> and her witchcrafts<S>3785</S> are so many<S>7227</S>?


text:
And Joram<S>3088</S> turned<S>2015</S> his hands<S>3027</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>, and said<S>559</S> to Ahaziah<S>274</S>, There is treachery<S>4820</S>, O Ahaziah<S>274</S>.


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> drew a bow<S>7198</S> with his full<S>4390</S> strength<S>3027</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> between his arms<S>2220</S>, and the arrow<S>2678</S> went out<S>3318</S> at his heart<S>3820</S>, and he sunk down<S>3766</S> in his chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jehu to Bidkar<S>920</S> his captain<S>7991</S>, Take up<S>5375</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him in the portion<S>2513</S> of the field<S>7704</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>: for remember<S>2142</S> how that<S>7392</S>, when I and you rode together<S>6776</S> after<S>310</S> Ahab<S>256</S> his father<S>1</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> laid<S>5375</S> this burden upon him<S>4853</S>;


text:
Surely I have seen<S>7200</S> yesterday<S>570</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S>, and the blood<S>1818</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>, says<S>5002</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; and I will repay<S>7999</S> you in this place<S>2513</S>, says<S>5002</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>. Now therefore take<S>5375</S> and cast<S>7993</S> him into the plot<S>2513</S> of ground<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But when Ahaziah<S>274</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> saw<S>7200</S> this<S>5127</S>, he fled by the way<S>1870</S> of the garden<S>1588</S> house<S>1004</S>. And Jehu<S>3058</S> followed<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Strike<S>5221</S> him also in the chariot<S>4818</S>. And they did so at the going up<S>4608</S> to Gur<S>1483</S>, which is by Ibleam<S>2991</S>. And he fled<S>5127</S> to Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> carried<S>7392</S> him in a chariot to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him in his tomb<S>6900</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And in the eleventh<S>6240</S> year<S>8141</S> of Joram<S>3141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began Ahaziah<S>274</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And when Jehu<S>3058</S> was come<S>935</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>, Jezebel<S>348</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7760</S>; and she painted her face<S>5869</S>, and attired<S>3190</S> her head<S>7218</S>, and looked out<S>8259</S> at a window<S>2474</S>.


text:
And as Jehu<S>3058</S> entered in<S>935</S> at the gate<S>8179</S>, she said<S>559</S>, Had Zimri<S>2174</S> peace<S>7965</S>, who killed<S>2026</S> his master<S>113</S>?


text:
And he lifted up<S>5375</S> his face<S>6440</S> to the light<S>2474</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Who is on my side<S>8259</S>? who? And there looked out to him two<S>8147</S> or three<S>7969</S> eunuchs<S>5631</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Throw her down<S>8058</S>. So they threw her down<S>8058</S>: and some of her blood<S>1818</S> was sprinkled<S>5137</S> on the wall<S>7023</S>, and on the horses<S>5483</S>: and he trod her under foot<S>7429</S>.


text:
And when he was come in<S>935</S>, he did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>6485</S>, see now this cursed<S>779</S> woman<S>6912</S>, and bury her<S>4428</S>: for she is a king's daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And they went<S>3212</S> to bury<S>6912</S> her<S>4672</S>: but they found no more of her than<S>518</S> the skull<S>1538</S>, and the feet<S>7272</S>, and the palms<S>3709</S> of her hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
Therefore they came again<S>7725</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>. And he said, This is the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, saying<S>559</S>, In the portion<S>2506</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S> shall dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S> the flesh<S>1320</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S>:


text:
And the carcass<S>5038</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S> shall be as dung<S>1828</S> upon the face<S>6440</S> of the field<S>7704</S> in the portion<S>2506</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>; so that they shall not say<S>559</S>, This is Jezebel<S>348</S>.

Therefore<S>1352</S>, beloved<S>27</S>, seeing that you look for<S>4328</S> such things<S>5023</S>, be diligent that<S>4704</S> you may be found<S>2147</S> of him<S>846</S> in<S>1722</S> peace<S>1515</S>, without spot<S>784</S>, and<S>2532</S> blameless<S>298</S>.

And<S>2532</S> account<S>2233</S> that the longsuffering<S>3115</S> of<S>2962</S> our<S>2257</S> Lord<S>2962</S> is salvation<S>4991</S>; even as<S>2531</S> our<S>2257</S> beloved<S>27</S> brother<S>80</S> Paul<S>3972</S> also<S>2532</S> according to<S>2596</S> the wisdom<S>4678</S> given<S>1325</S> to him<S>846</S> has written<S>1125</S> to you<S>5213</S>;

You<S>5210</S> therefore<S>3767</S>, beloved<S>27</S>, seeing you know<S>4267</S> these things before<S>5442</S>, beware lest<S>3363</S> you also<S>1601</S>, being led away<S>4879</S> with the error<S>4106</S> of the wicked<S>113</S>, fall from<S>1601</S> your own<S>2398</S> steadfastness<S>4740</S>.

But<S>1161</S> grow<S>837</S> in<S>1722</S> grace<S>5485</S>, and<S>2532</S> in the knowledge<S>1108</S> of<S>2962</S> our<S>2257</S> Lord<S>2962</S> and<S>2532</S> Savior<S>4990</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> Christ<S>5547</S>.

text:
Now it came to pass<S>1961</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Saul,<S>7586</S> when David<S>1732</S> was returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>4480</S> <S>5221</S> of <S>(853)</S> the Amalekites,<S>6002</S> and David<S>1732</S> had abode<S>3427</S> two<S>8147</S> days<S>3117</S> in Ziklag;<S>6860</S>


text:
It came even to pass on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that<S>376</S>, behold, a man came<S>935</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> from Saul<S>7586</S> with his clothes<S>899</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>: and so it was<S>935</S>, when he came to David<S>1732</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and did bow<S>7812</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>935</S>, From from where come you<S>559</S>? And he said unto him<S>4264</S>, Out of the camp of Israel<S>3478</S> am I escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4100</S>, How went the matter<S>1697</S>? I pray you<S>5046</S>, tell me<S>559</S>. And he answered, That the people<S>5971</S> are fled<S>5127</S> from the battle<S>4421</S>, and many<S>7235</S> of the people<S>5971</S> also are fallen<S>5307</S> and dead<S>4191</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> are dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>3045</S>, How know you that Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S> be dead<S>4191</S>?


text:
And the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him said<S>559</S>, As I happened<S>7136</S> by chance<S>7122</S> upon mountain<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>, behold<S>7586</S>, Saul leaned<S>8172</S> upon his spear<S>2595</S>; and<S>7393</S>, behold, the chariots and horsemen<S>1167</S> followed hard after him<S>1692</S>.


text:
And when he looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>7200</S>, he saw me<S>7121</S>, and called unto me<S>559</S>. And I answered, Here am I.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto me<S>559</S>, Who are you? And I answered him<S>6003</S>, I am an Amalekite.


text:
He said<S>559</S> unto me again<S>5975</S>, Stand, I pray you<S>4191</S>, upon me, and kill me<S>7661</S>: for anguish is come<S>270</S> upon me<S>5315</S>, because my life is yet whole in me.


text:
So I stood<S>5975</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>3045</S>, because I was sure that he could not live<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> that he was fallen<S>5307</S>: and I took<S>3947</S> the crown<S>5145</S> that was upon his head<S>7218</S>, and the bracelet<S>685</S> that was on his arm<S>2220</S>, and have brought<S>935</S> them here unto my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> took hold<S>2388</S> on his clothes<S>899</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> them<S>582</S>; and likewise all the men that were with him:


text:
And they mourned<S>5594</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> until evening<S>6153</S>, for Saul<S>7586</S>, and for Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and for the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; because they were fallen<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, From where are you? And he answered, I am the son<S>1121</S> of a stranger<S>376</S>, an Amalekite<S>6003</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3372</S>, How were you not afraid to stretch forth<S>7971</S> your hand<S>3027</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> called<S>7121</S> one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Go near<S>5066</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> upon him<S>5221</S>. And he struck him that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1818</S>, Your blood be upon your head<S>7218</S>; for your mouth<S>6310</S> has testified<S>6030</S> against you<S>559</S>, saying, I have slain<S>4191</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> lamented<S>6969</S> with this lamentation<S>7015</S> over Saul<S>7586</S> and over Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>:


text:
(Also he told<S>559</S> them teach<S>3925</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> the use of the bow<S>7198</S>: behold<S>3789</S>, it is written in the book<S>5612</S> of Jasher<S>3477</S>.)


text:
The beauty<S>6643</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> is slain<S>2491</S> upon your high places<S>1116</S>: how are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S>!


text:
Tell<S>5046</S> it not in Gath<S>1661</S>, publish<S>1319</S> it not in the streets<S>2351</S> of Askelon<S>831</S>; lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> rejoice<S>8055</S>, lest the daughters<S>1323</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S> triumph<S>5937</S>.


text:
You mountains<S>2022</S> of Gilboa<S>1533</S>, let there be no dew<S>2919</S>, neither let there be rain<S>4306</S>, upon you<S>7704</S>, nor fields of offerings<S>8641</S>: for there the shield<S>4043</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S> is vilely cast away<S>1602</S>, the shield<S>4043</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, as though he had not been anointed<S>4899</S> with oil<S>8081</S>.


text:
From the blood<S>1818</S> of the slain<S>2491</S>, from the fat<S>2459</S> of the mighty<S>1368</S>, the bow<S>7198</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> turned<S>7734</S> not back<S>268</S>, and the sword<S>2719</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> not empty<S>7387</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S> were lovely<S>157</S> and pleasant<S>5273</S> in their lives<S>2416</S>, and in their death<S>4194</S> they were not divided<S>6504</S>: they were swifter<S>7043</S> than eagles<S>5404</S>, they were stronger<S>1396</S> than lions<S>738</S>.


text:
You daughters<S>1323</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, weep over<S>1058</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, who clothed<S>3847</S> you in scarlet<S>8144</S>, with other delights<S>5730</S>, who put<S>5927</S> on ornaments<S>5716</S> of gold<S>2091</S> upon your apparel<S>3830</S>.


text:
How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S> in the middle<S>8432</S> of the battle<S>4421</S>! O Jonathan<S>3083</S>, you were slain<S>2491</S> in your high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
I am distressed<S>6887</S> for you<S>251</S>, my brother Jonathan<S>3083</S>: very<S>3966</S> pleasant<S>5276</S> have you been unto me<S>160</S>: your love to me was wonderful<S>6381</S>, passing the love<S>160</S> of women<S>802</S>.


text:
How are the mighty<S>1368</S> fallen<S>5307</S>, and the weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S> perished<S>6</S>!


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Hanun<S>2586</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, I will show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto Hanun<S>2586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, as his father<S>1</S> showed<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto me<S>1732</S>. And David sent<S>7971</S> to comfort<S>5162</S> him by the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S> for his father<S>1</S>. And David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And the princes<S>8269</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> said<S>559</S> unto Hanun<S>2586</S> their lord<S>113</S>, Think<S>5869</S> you that David<S>1732</S> does honor<S>3513</S> your father<S>1</S>, that he has sent<S>7971</S> comforters<S>5162</S> unto you<S>1732</S>? has not David rather sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> unto you<S>5668</S>, to search<S>2713</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and to spy it out<S>7270</S>, and to overthrow it<S>2015</S>?


text:
That is why Hanun<S>2586</S> took<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and shaved off<S>1548</S> the one half<S>2677</S> of their beards<S>2206</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> their garments<S>4063</S> in the middle<S>2677</S>, even to their buttocks<S>8357</S>, and sent them away<S>7971</S>.


text:
When they told<S>5046</S> it unto David<S>1732</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>582</S>, because the men were greatly<S>3966</S> ashamed<S>3637</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Stay<S>3427</S> at Jericho<S>3405</S> until your beards<S>2206</S> be grown<S>6779</S>, and then return<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they stank<S>887</S> before David<S>1732</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> sent<S>7971</S> and hired<S>7936</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> of Beth<S>1050</S>–rehob, and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zoba<S>6678</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and of king<S>4428</S> Maacah<S>4601</S> a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and of Ish<S>382</S>–tob twelve<S>6240</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came out<S>3318</S>, and put the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> at the entering in<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and the Syrians<S>758</S> of Zoba<S>6678</S>, and of Rehob<S>7340</S>, and Ish<S>382</S>–tob, and Maacah<S>4601</S>, were by themselves<S>905</S> in the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
When Joab<S>3097</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the front<S>6440</S> of the battle<S>4421</S> was against him before<S>6440</S> and behind<S>268</S>, he chose<S>977</S> of all the choice<S>977</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, and put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>:


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> his brother<S>251</S>, that he might put them in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, If the Syrians<S>758</S> be too strong<S>2388</S> for me<S>3444</S>, then you shall help me<S>1121</S>: but if the sons of Ammon<S>5983</S> be too strong<S>2388</S> for you<S>1980</S>, then I will come and help you<S>3467</S>.


text:
Be of good courage<S>2388</S>, and let us play the men<S>2388</S> for our people<S>5971</S>, and for the cities<S>5892</S> of our God<S>430</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> that which seems<S>5869</S> him good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> drew near<S>5066</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>4421</S>, unto the battle against the Syrians<S>758</S>: and they fled<S>5127</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the Syrians<S>758</S> were fled<S>5127</S>, then fled<S>5127</S> they also before<S>6440</S> Abishai<S>52</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>. So Joab<S>3097</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And when the Syrians<S>758</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were struck<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they gathered<S>622</S> themselves together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And Hadarezer<S>1928</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and brought out<S>3318</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> that were beyond<S>5676</S> the river<S>5104</S>: and they came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>; and Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Hadarezer<S>1928</S> went before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when it was told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, he gathered<S>622</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>622</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Helam<S>2431</S>. And the Syrians<S>758</S> set themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and fought with him<S>3898</S>.


text:
And the Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and David<S>1732</S> killed<S>2026</S> the men of seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S>, and forty<S>705</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Shobach<S>7731</S> the captain<S>8269</S> of their army<S>6635</S>, who died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when all the kings<S>4428</S> that were servants<S>5650</S> to Hadarezer<S>1928</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were struck<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, they made peace<S>7999</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, and served<S>5647</S> them<S>758</S>. So the Syrians feared<S>3372</S> to help<S>3467</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon any more<S>5983</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8141</S>, after the year was expired<S>8666</S>, at the time<S>6256</S> when kings<S>4428</S> go forth<S>3318</S> to battle<S>1732</S>, that David sent<S>7971</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>3478</S>, and all Israel; and they destroyed<S>7843</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and besieged<S>6696</S> Rabbah<S>7237</S>. But David<S>1732</S> stayed still<S>3427</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.

And it came to pass at evening<S>6153</S>, that David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from off his bed<S>4904</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> upon the roof<S>1406</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and from the roof<S>1406</S> he saw<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> washing<S>7364</S> herself<S>802</S>; and the woman was very<S>3966</S> beautiful<S>2896</S> to look upon<S>4758</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and inquired<S>1875</S> after the woman<S>802</S>. And one said<S>559</S>, Is not this Bath<S>1339</S>–sheba, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Eliam<S>463</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and took<S>3947</S> her<S>935</S>; and she came in unto him<S>7901</S>, and he lay with her<S>6942</S>; for she was purified from her uncleanness<S>2932</S>: and she returned<S>7725</S> unto her house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> conceived<S>2029</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I am with child<S>2030</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>7971</S>, Send me Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> Uriah<S>223</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And when Uriah<S>223</S> was come<S>935</S> unto him<S>1732</S>, David demanded<S>7592</S> of him how Joab<S>3097</S> did<S>7965</S>, and how the people<S>5971</S> did<S>7965</S>, and how the war<S>4421</S> prospered<S>7965</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, Go down<S>3381</S> to your house<S>1004</S>, and wash<S>7364</S> your feet<S>7272</S>. And Uriah<S>223</S> departed out<S>3318</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and there followed<S>310</S> him a mess<S>4864</S> of food from the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
But Uriah<S>223</S> slept<S>7901</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> with all the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, and went not down<S>3381</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And when they had told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Uriah<S>223</S> went not down<S>3381</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>, David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Uriah<S>223</S>, Came<S>935</S> you not from your journey<S>1870</S>? why then did you not go down<S>3381</S> unto your house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And Uriah<S>223</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, The ark<S>727</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S>, and Judah<S>3063</S>, stay<S>3427</S> in tents<S>5521</S>; and my lord<S>113</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, are encamped<S>2583</S> in the open<S>6440</S> fields<S>7704</S>; shall I<S>589</S> then go<S>935</S> into my house<S>1004</S>, to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>, and to lie<S>7901</S> with my wife<S>802</S>? as you live<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I will not do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Uriah<S>223</S>, Stay<S>3427</S> here to day<S>3117</S> also<S>4279</S>, and to morrow I will let you depart<S>7971</S>. So Uriah<S>223</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> that day<S>3117</S>, and the next day<S>4283</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> had called<S>7121</S> him<S>398</S>, he did eat and drink<S>8354</S> before<S>6440</S> him and he made him drunk<S>7937</S>: and at evening<S>6153</S> he went out<S>3318</S> to lie<S>7901</S> on his bed<S>4904</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of his lord<S>113</S>, but went not down<S>3381</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, that David<S>1732</S> wrote<S>3789</S> a letter<S>5612</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> it by the hand<S>3027</S> of Uriah<S>223</S>.


text:
And he wrote<S>3789</S> in the letter<S>5612</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Set<S>3051</S> you Uriah<S>223</S> in the forefront<S>6440</S> of the hottest<S>2389</S> battle<S>4421</S>, and retreat<S>7725</S> from him<S>310</S>, that he may be struck<S>5221</S>, and die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3097</S>, when Joab observed<S>8104</S> the city<S>5892</S>, that he assigned<S>5414</S> Uriah<S>223</S> unto a place<S>4725</S> where he knew<S>3045</S> that valiant<S>2428</S> men were<S>582</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Joab<S>3097</S>: and there fell<S>5307</S> some of the people<S>5971</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> died also<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> and told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all the things<S>1697</S> concerning the war<S>4421</S>;


text:
And commanded<S>6680</S> the messenger<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When you have made an end<S>3615</S> of telling<S>1696</S> the matters<S>1697</S> of the war<S>4421</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>,


text:
And if so be that the king<S>4428</S>'s wrath<S>2534</S> arise<S>5927</S>, and he say<S>559</S> unto you<S>5066</S>, That Is Why approached you so near unto the city<S>5892</S> when you did fight<S>3898</S>? knew<S>3045</S> you not that they would shoot<S>3384</S> from the wall<S>2346</S>?


text:
Who struck<S>5221</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbesheth<S>3380</S>? did not a woman<S>802</S> cast<S>7993</S> a piece<S>6400</S> of a millstone<S>7393</S> upon him from the wall<S>2346</S>, that he died<S>4191</S> in Thebez<S>8405</S>? why went you near<S>5066</S> the wall<S>2346</S>? then say<S>559</S> you<S>5650</S>, Your servant Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
So the messenger<S>4397</S> went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> and showed<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> all that Joab<S>3097</S> had sent him for<S>7971</S>.


text:
And the messenger<S>4397</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Surely the men<S>582</S> prevailed<S>1396</S> against us<S>3318</S>, and came out unto us into the field<S>7704</S>, and we were upon them even unto the entering<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And the shooters<S>3384</S> shot<S>3384</S> from off the wall<S>2346</S> upon your servants<S>5650</S>; and some of the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> be dead<S>4191</S>, and your servant<S>5650</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> is dead also<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the messenger<S>4397</S>, Thus shall you say<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Let not this thing<S>1697</S> displease<S>3415</S> you<S>2719</S>, for the sword devours<S>398</S> one as well as another<S>2090</S>: make your battle<S>4421</S> more strong<S>2388</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and overthrow<S>2040</S> it<S>2388</S>: and encourage you him.


text:
And when the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Uriah<S>223</S> her husband<S>376</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she mourned<S>5594</S> for her husband<S>1167</S>.


text:
And when the mourning<S>60</S> was past<S>5674</S>, David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>622</S> her to his house<S>1004</S>, and she became his wife<S>802</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> him a son<S>1121</S>. But the thing<S>1697</S> that David<S>1732</S> had done<S>6213</S> displeased<S>3415</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Nathan<S>5416</S> unto David<S>1732</S>. And he came<S>935</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>8147</S>, There were two men<S>582</S> in one<S>259</S> city<S>5892</S>; the one<S>259</S> rich<S>6223</S>, and the other<S>259</S> poor<S>7326</S>.


text:
The rich<S>6223</S> man had exceedingly<S>3966</S> many<S>7235</S> flocks<S>6629</S> and herds<S>1241</S>:


text:
But the poor<S>7326</S> man had nothing<S>259</S>, save one little<S>6996</S> ewe lamb<S>3535</S>, which he had bought<S>7069</S> and nourished up<S>2421</S>: and it grew up<S>1431</S> together<S>3162</S> with him<S>1121</S>, and with his sons; it did eat<S>398</S> of his own food<S>6595</S>, and drank<S>8354</S> of his own cup<S>3563</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in his bosom<S>2436</S>, and was unto him as a daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a traveler<S>1982</S> unto the rich<S>6223</S> man<S>376</S>, and he spared<S>2550</S> to take<S>3947</S> of his own flock<S>6629</S> and of his own herd<S>1241</S>, to dress<S>6213</S> for the wayfaring man<S>732</S> that was come<S>935</S> unto him<S>3947</S>; but took the poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>'s lamb<S>3535</S>, and dressed<S>6213</S> it for the man<S>376</S> that was come to him<S>935</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> kindled<S>2734</S> against the man<S>376</S>; and he said<S>559</S> to Nathan<S>5416</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, the man<S>376</S> that has done<S>6213</S> this thing shall surely<S>1121</S> die<S>4194</S>:


text:
And he shall restore<S>7999</S> the lamb<S>3535</S> fourfold<S>706</S>, because<S>6118</S> he did<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, and because<S>834</S> he had no pity<S>2550</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, You are the man<S>376</S>. Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>;


text:
And I gave<S>5414</S> you your master<S>113</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and your master<S>113</S>'s wives<S>802</S> into your bosom<S>2436</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> you the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S>; and if that had been too little<S>4592</S>, I would have given<S>3254</S> unto you many more such<S>2007</S> things<S>2007</S>.


text:
Why have you despised<S>959</S> the commandment<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, to do<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>? you have killed<S>5221</S> Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and have taken<S>3947</S> his wife<S>802</S> to be your wife<S>802</S>, and have slain<S>2026</S> him with the sword<S>2719</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
Now therefore the sword<S>2719</S> shall never<S>5704</S> depart<S>5493</S> from your house<S>1004</S>; because<S>6118</S> you have despised<S>959</S> me<S>3947</S>, and have taken the wife<S>802</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S> to be your wife<S>802</S>.


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Behold<S>6965</S>, I will raise up evil<S>7451</S> against you out of your own house<S>1004</S>, and I will take<S>3947</S> your wives<S>802</S> before your eyes<S>5869</S>, and give<S>5414</S> them unto your neighbor<S>7453</S>, and he shall lie<S>7901</S> with your wives<S>802</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of this sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
For you did<S>6213</S> it secretly<S>5643</S>: but I will do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> before all Israel<S>3478</S>, and before the sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Nathan<S>5416</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Nathan<S>5416</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> also has put away<S>5674</S> your sin<S>2403</S>; you shall not die<S>4191</S>.


text:
But<S>657</S>, because by this deed<S>1697</S> you have given<S>5006</S> great occasion<S>5006</S> to the enemies<S>341</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> to blaspheme<S>5006</S>, the child<S>1121</S> also that is born<S>3209</S> unto you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Nathan<S>5416</S> departed<S>3212</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> the child<S>3206</S> that Uriah<S>223</S>'s wife<S>802</S> bore<S>3205</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, and it was very sick<S>605</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore begged<S>1245</S> God<S>430</S> for the child<S>5288</S>; and David<S>1732</S> fasted<S>6684</S>, and went in<S>935</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> all night<S>3885</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of his house<S>1004</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went to him<S>6965</S>, to raise him up from the earth<S>776</S>: but he would<S>14</S> not<S>1262</S>, neither did he eat bread with them<S>3899</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the child<S>3206</S> died<S>4191</S>. And the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> feared<S>3372</S> to tell<S>5046</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>: for they said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>3206</S>, while the child was yet alive<S>2416</S>, we spoke<S>1696</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, and he would not listen unto our voice<S>6963</S>: how will he then<S>6213</S> harm<S>7451</S> himself<S>6213</S>, if we tell<S>559</S> him that the child<S>3206</S> is dead<S>4191</S>?


text:
But when David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his servants<S>5650</S> whispered<S>3907</S>, David<S>1732</S> perceived<S>995</S> that the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>: therefore David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Is the child<S>3206</S> dead<S>4191</S>? And they said<S>559</S>, He is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and washed<S>7364</S>, and anointed<S>5480</S> himself<S>2498</S>, and changed his apparel<S>8071</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S>: then he came<S>935</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>; and when he required<S>7592</S>, they set<S>7760</S> bread<S>3899</S> before him<S>398</S>, and he did eat.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> his servants<S>5650</S> unto him<S>1697</S>, What thing is this that you have done<S>6213</S>? you did fast<S>6684</S> and weep<S>1058</S> for the child<S>3206</S>, while it was alive<S>2416</S>; but when the child<S>3206</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, you did rise<S>6965</S> and eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, While the child<S>3206</S> was yet alive<S>2416</S>, I fasted<S>6684</S> and wept<S>1058</S>: for I said<S>559</S>, Who can tell<S>3045</S> whether God<S>3068</S> will be gracious<S>2603</S> to me<S>3206</S>, that the child may live<S>2416</S>?


text:
But now he is dead<S>4191</S>, that is why should I fast<S>6684</S>? can<S>3201</S> I bring him back again<S>7725</S>? I shall go<S>1980</S> to him<S>7725</S>, but he shall not return to me.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> comforted<S>5162</S> Bath<S>1339</S>–sheba his wife<S>802</S>, and went in<S>935</S> unto her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her<S>3205</S>: and she bore a son<S>1121</S>, and he called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> loved him<S>157</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; and he called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Jedidiah<S>3041</S>, because of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and took<S>3920</S> the royal<S>4410</S> city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have fought<S>3898</S> against Rabbah<S>7237</S>, and have taken<S>3920</S> the city<S>5892</S> of waters<S>4325</S>.

Now therefore gather<S>622</S> the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and encamp<S>2583</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, and take<S>3920</S> it<S>3920</S>: lest I take the city<S>5892</S>, and it be called<S>7121</S> after my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> gathered<S>622</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Rabbah<S>7237</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against it<S>3920</S>, and took it.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> their king<S>4428</S>'s crown<S>5850</S> from off his head<S>7218</S>, the weight<S>4948</S> whereof was a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S> with the precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: and it was set on David<S>1732</S>'s head<S>7218</S>. And he brought forth<S>3318</S> the plunder<S>7998</S> of the city<S>5892</S> in great<S>3966</S> abundance<S>7235</S>.


text:
And he brought forth<S>3318</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were in it<S>7760</S>, and put them under saws<S>4050</S>, and under harrows<S>2757</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and under axes<S>4037</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and made them pass<S>5674</S> through the brickkiln<S>4404</S>: and thus did<S>6213</S> he unto all the cities<S>5892</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>. So David<S>1732</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> this<S>53</S>, that Absalom the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> had a fair<S>3303</S> sister<S>269</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>; and Amnon<S>550</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> loved her<S>157</S>.


text:
And Amnon<S>550</S> was so troubled<S>3334</S>, that he fell sick<S>2470</S> for his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>; for she was a virgin<S>1330</S>; and Amnon<S>550</S> thought<S>5869</S> it hard<S>6381</S> for him to do<S>6213</S> any thing to her<S>3972</S>.


text:
But Amnon<S>550</S> had a friend<S>7453</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S> David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>: and Jonadab<S>3122</S> was a very<S>3966</S> subtle<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4428</S>, Why are you, being the king's son<S>1121</S>, sad<S>1800</S> from day<S>1242</S> to day<S>1242</S>? will you not tell<S>5046</S> me<S>550</S>? And Amnon said<S>559</S> unto him<S>157</S>, I love Tamar<S>8559</S>, my brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s sister<S>269</S>.


text:
And Jonadab<S>3082</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7901</S>, Lay you down on your bed<S>4904</S>, and make yourself sick<S>2470</S>: and when your father<S>1</S> comes<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> you<S>559</S>, say unto him<S>269</S>, I pray you, let my sister Tamar<S>8559</S> come<S>935</S>, and give<S>1262</S> me food<S>3899</S>, and dress<S>6213</S> the food<S>1279</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may see<S>7200</S> it<S>398</S>, and eat it at her hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
So Amnon<S>550</S> lay down<S>7901</S>, and made himself sick<S>2470</S>: and when the king<S>4428</S> was come<S>935</S> to see<S>7200</S> him<S>550</S>, Amnon said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, I pray you<S>8559</S>, let Tamar my sister<S>269</S> come<S>935</S>, and make<S>3823</S> me a couple<S>8147</S> of cakes<S>3834</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> at her hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> home<S>1004</S> to Tamar<S>8559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> now to your brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and dress<S>6213</S> him food<S>1279</S>.


text:
So Tamar<S>8559</S> went<S>3212</S> to her brother<S>251</S> Amnon<S>550</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and he was laid down<S>7901</S>. And she took<S>3947</S> flour<S>1217</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>3823</S>, and made cakes in his sight<S>5869</S>, and did bake<S>1310</S> the cakes<S>3834</S>.


text:
And she took<S>3947</S> a pan<S>4958</S>, and poured them out<S>3332</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3985</S>; but he refused to eat<S>398</S>. And Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S>, Have out<S>3318</S> all men<S>376</S> from me<S>3318</S>. And they went out every man from him<S>376</S>.


text:
And Amnon<S>550</S> said<S>559</S> unto Tamar<S>8559</S>, Bring<S>935</S> the food<S>1279</S> into the chamber<S>2315</S>, that I may eat<S>1262</S> of your hand<S>3027</S>. And Tamar<S>8559</S> took<S>3947</S> the cakes<S>3834</S> which she had made<S>6213</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the chamber<S>2315</S> to Amnon<S>550</S> her brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And when she had brought<S>5066</S> them unto him to eat<S>398</S>, he took hold<S>2388</S> of her<S>559</S>, and said unto her<S>935</S>, Come lie<S>7901</S> with me<S>269</S>, my sister.


text:
And she answered<S>559</S> him<S>251</S>, No, my brother, do not force<S>6031</S> me<S>3651</S>; for no such thing should be done<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: do<S>6213</S> not you this wickedness<S>5039</S>.


text:
And I<S>2781</S>, where shall I cause my shame to go<S>3212</S>? and as for you<S>259</S>, you shall be as one of the fools<S>5036</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Now therefore<S>1696</S>, I pray you, speak unto the king<S>4428</S>; for he will not withhold me from you<S>4513</S>.


text:
But he would<S>14</S> not listen<S>8085</S> unto her voice<S>6963</S>: but<S>2388</S>, being stronger than she<S>6031</S>, forced her<S>7901</S>, and lay with her.


text:
Then Amnon<S>550</S> hated<S>8130</S> her exceedingly<S>3966</S>; so that the hatred<S>8135</S> with which he hated<S>8130</S> her was greater<S>1419</S> than the love<S>160</S> with which he had loved<S>157</S> her<S>550</S>. And Amnon said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6965</S>, Arise, be gone<S>3212</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>182</S>, There is no cause: this evil<S>7451</S> in sending me away<S>7971</S> is greater<S>1419</S> than the other<S>312</S> that you did<S>6213</S> unto me<S>14</S>. But he would not listen unto her<S>8085</S>.


text:
Then he called<S>7121</S> his servant<S>5288</S> that ministered<S>8334</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, Put<S>7971</S> now this woman out<S>2351</S> from me<S>5274</S>, and bolt the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>.


text:
And she had a garment<S>3801</S> of various colors<S>6446</S> upon her<S>4598</S>: for with such robes were the king<S>4428</S>'s daughters<S>1323</S> that were virgins<S>1330</S> dressed<S>3847</S>. Then his servant<S>8334</S> brought<S>3318</S> her out<S>2351</S>, and bolted<S>5274</S> the door<S>1817</S> after her<S>310</S>.


text:
And Tamar<S>8559</S> put<S>3947</S> ashes<S>665</S> on her head<S>7218</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> her garment<S>3801</S> of various colors<S>6446</S> that was on her<S>7760</S>, and laid her hand<S>3027</S> on her head<S>7218</S>, and went<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> crying<S>2199</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> her brother<S>251</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>550</S>, Has Amnon your brother<S>251</S> been with you<S>2790</S>? but hold now your peace, my sister<S>269</S>: he is your brother<S>251</S>; regard<S>7896</S> not this thing<S>1697</S>. So Tamar<S>8559</S> remained<S>3427</S> desolate<S>8074</S> in her brother<S>251</S> Absalom<S>53</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But when king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> of all these things<S>1697</S>, he was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>2734</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> spoke<S>1696</S> unto his brother Amnon<S>550</S> neither good<S>2896</S> nor bad<S>7451</S>: for Absalom<S>53</S> hated<S>8130</S> Amnon<S>550</S>, because<S>1697</S> he had forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> had sheepshearers<S>1494</S> in Baal<S>1178</S>–hazor, which is beside Ephraim<S>669</S>: and Absalom<S>53</S> invited<S>7121</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold now<S>5650</S>, your servant has sheepshearers<S>1494</S>; let<S>3212</S> the king<S>4428</S>, I beg you<S>5650</S>, and his servants go<S>3212</S> with your servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, No<S>1121</S>, my son, let us not all now go<S>3212</S>, lest we be a burden<S>3513</S> unto you<S>6555</S>. And he pressed him<S>14</S>: but he would not go<S>3212</S>, but blessed him<S>1288</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, If not<S>251</S>, I pray you, let my brother Amnon<S>550</S> go<S>3212</S> with us<S>4428</S>. And the king said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Why should he go with you?


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> pressed<S>6555</S> him<S>550</S>, that he let Amnon and all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> go with him<S>7971</S>.


text:
Now Absalom<S>53</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Mark<S>7200</S> you now when Amnon<S>550</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> is merry<S>2896</S> with wine<S>3196</S>, and when I say<S>559</S> unto you<S>5221</S>, Strike Amnon<S>550</S>; then kill<S>4191</S> him<S>3372</S>, fear not<S>6680</S>: have not I commanded you<S>2388</S>? be courageous, and be valiant<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5288</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> did<S>6213</S> unto Amnon<S>550</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> had commanded<S>6680</S>. Then all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and every man<S>376</S> got up<S>7392</S> on his mule<S>6505</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1870</S>, while they were in the way, that tidings<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> has slain<S>5221</S> all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>, and there is not one<S>259</S> of them left<S>3498</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and tore<S>7167</S> his garments<S>899</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> on the earth<S>776</S>; and all his servants<S>5650</S> stood<S>5324</S> by with their clothes<S>899</S> torn<S>7167</S>.


text:
And Jonadab<S>3122</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeah<S>8093</S> David<S>1732</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Let not my lord<S>113</S> suppose<S>559</S> that they have slain<S>4191</S> all the young men<S>5288</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S>; for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>: for by the appointment<S>6310</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> this has been determined<S>7760</S> from the day<S>3117</S> that he forced<S>6031</S> his sister<S>269</S> Tamar<S>8559</S>.


text:
Now therefore let not my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> take<S>7760</S> the thing<S>1697</S> to his heart<S>3820</S>, to think<S>559</S> that all the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> are dead<S>4191</S>: for Amnon<S>550</S> only is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>. And the young man<S>5288</S> that kept the watch<S>6822</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>1980</S>, behold, there came much<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the hill<S>2022</S> side<S>6654</S> behind him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Jonadab<S>3122</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king's sons<S>1121</S> come<S>935</S>: as your servant<S>5650</S> said<S>1697</S>, so it is.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S>, that<S>4428</S>, behold, the king's sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S> and wept<S>1058</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> also and all his servants<S>5650</S> wept<S>1058</S> very<S>3966</S> severe<S>1065</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Talmai<S>8526</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ammihud<S>5991</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Geshur<S>1650</S>. And David mourned<S>56</S> for his son<S>1121</S> every day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Absalom<S>53</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and was there three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the soul of king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> longed<S>3615</S> to go forth<S>3318</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>: for he was comforted<S>5162</S> concerning Amnon<S>550</S>, seeing he was dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Now Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that the king<S>4428</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was toward Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Tekoah<S>8620</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> there a wise<S>2450</S> woman<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto her<S>56</S>, I pray you, feign yourself to be a mourner, and put on<S>3847</S> now mourning<S>60</S> apparel<S>899</S>, and anoint<S>5480</S> not yourself with oil<S>8081</S>, but be as a woman<S>802</S> that had a long<S>7227</S> time<S>3117</S> mourned<S>56</S> for the dead<S>4191</S>:


text:
And come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> on this manner<S>1697</S> unto him<S>3097</S>. So Joab put<S>7760</S> the words<S>1697</S> in her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
And when the woman<S>802</S> of Tekoah<S>8621</S> spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, she fell<S>5307</S> on her face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and did bow<S>7812</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Help<S>3467</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>559</S>, What ails you? And she answered, I am indeed<S>61</S> a widow<S>490</S> woman<S>802</S>, and my husband<S>376</S> is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And your handmaid<S>8198</S> had two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and they two<S>8147</S> argued together<S>5327</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and there was none to part<S>5337</S> them<S>259</S>, but the one struck<S>5221</S> the other<S>259</S>, and killed him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And<S>4940</S>, behold, the whole family is risen<S>6965</S> against your handmaid<S>8198</S>, and they said<S>559</S>, Deliver<S>5414</S> him that struck<S>5221</S> his brother<S>251</S>, that we may kill<S>4191</S> him<S>5315</S>, for the life of his brother<S>251</S> whom he killed<S>2026</S>; and we will destroy<S>8045</S> the heir<S>3423</S> also<S>3518</S>: and so they shall quench my coal<S>1513</S> which is left<S>7760</S>, and shall not leave<S>7604</S> to my husband<S>376</S> neither name<S>8034</S> nor remainder<S>7611</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, Go<S>3212</S> to your house<S>1004</S>, and I will give charge concerning you<S>6680</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> of Tekoah<S>8621</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, the iniquity<S>5771</S> be on me<S>1</S>, and on my father's house<S>1004</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> and his throne<S>3678</S> be guiltless<S>5355</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Whoever says<S>1696</S> anything unto you<S>935</S>, bring him to me<S>5060</S>, and he shall not touch you any more<S>3254</S>.

Then said<S>559</S> she<S>4428</S>, I pray you, let the king remember<S>2142</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, that you would not allow the revengers<S>1350</S> of blood<S>1818</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> any more<S>7235</S>, lest they destroy<S>8045</S> my son<S>1121</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there shall not one hair<S>8185</S> of your son<S>1121</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, Let your handmaid<S>8198</S>, I pray you<S>1696</S>, speak one word<S>1697</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Say on<S>1696</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, Why then have you thought<S>2803</S> such a thing against the people<S>5971</S> of God<S>430</S>? for the king<S>4428</S> does speak<S>1696</S> this thing<S>1697</S> as one which is faulty<S>818</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> does not fetch home again<S>7725</S> his banished<S>5080</S>.


text:
For we must needs<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, and are as water<S>4325</S> spilt<S>5064</S> on the ground<S>776</S>, which cannot be gathered up again<S>622</S>; neither does God<S>430</S> respect<S>5375</S> any person<S>5315</S>: yet does he devise<S>2803</S> means<S>4284</S>, that his banished<S>5080</S> be not expelled from him<S>5080</S>.


text:
Now therefore that I am come<S>935</S> to speak<S>1696</S> of this thing<S>1697</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, it is because the people<S>5971</S> have made me afraid<S>3372</S>: and your handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, I will now speak<S>1696</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>; it may be that the king<S>4428</S> will perform<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his handmaid<S>519</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> will hear<S>8085</S>, to deliver<S>5337</S> his handmaid<S>519</S> out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the man<S>376</S> that would destroy<S>8045</S> me and my son<S>1121</S> together<S>3162</S> out of the inheritance<S>5159</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then your handmaid<S>8198</S> said<S>559</S>, The word<S>1697</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall now be comfortable<S>4496</S>: for as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, so is my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> to discern<S>8085</S> good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>: therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> your God will be with you<S>430</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, Hide<S>3582</S> not from me<S>1697</S>, I pray you, the thing that I shall ask<S>7592</S> you<S>802</S>. And the woman said<S>559</S>, Let my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> now speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Is not the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S> with you in all this<S>802</S>? And the woman answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, As your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, none<S>376</S> can<S>786</S> turn to the right hand<S>3231</S> or to the left<S>8041</S> from anything that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has spoken<S>1696</S>: for your servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, he told<S>6680</S> me<S>7760</S>, and he put all these words<S>1697</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of your handmaid<S>8198</S>:


text:
To<S>5668</S> turn around<S>5437</S> the face<S>6440</S> of this matter<S>1697</S> has your servant<S>5650</S> Joab<S>3097</S> done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>: and my lord<S>113</S> is wise<S>2450</S>, according to the wisdom<S>2451</S> of an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, to know<S>3045</S> all things that are in the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold now<S>6213</S>, I have done this thing<S>1697</S>: go<S>3212</S> therefore<S>7725</S>, bring the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> fell<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S> on his face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself<S>1288</S>, and thanked the king<S>4428</S>: and Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, To day<S>3117</S> your servant<S>5650</S> knows<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, in that the king<S>4428</S> has fulfilled<S>6213</S> the request<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Geshur<S>1650</S>, and brought<S>935</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Let him turn<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, and let him not see<S>7200</S> my face<S>6440</S>. So Absalom<S>53</S> returned<S>5437</S> to his own house<S>1004</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> not the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
But in all Israel<S>3478</S> there was none<S>376</S> to be so much<S>3966</S> praised<S>1984</S> as Absalom<S>53</S> for his beauty<S>3303</S>: from the sole<S>3709</S> of his foot<S>7272</S> even to the crown of his head<S>6936</S> there was no blemish in him<S>3971</S>.


text:
And when he cut<S>1548</S> his head<S>7218</S>, (for it was at every year<S>3117</S>'s end<S>7093</S> that he cut<S>1548</S> it<S>3513</S>: because the hair was heavy on him<S>1548</S>, therefore he cut it<S>8254</S>:) he weighed the hair<S>8181</S> of his head<S>7218</S> at two hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S> after the king<S>4428</S>'s weight<S>68</S>.


text:
And unto Absalom<S>53</S> there were born<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and one<S>259</S> daughter<S>1323</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Tamar<S>8559</S>: she was a woman<S>802</S> of a fair<S>3303</S> favor<S>4758</S>.


text:
So Absalom<S>53</S> lived<S>3427</S> two full<S>3117</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> not the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Therefore Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Joab<S>3097</S>, to have sent<S>7971</S> him to the king<S>4428</S>; but he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S> to him<S>7971</S>: and when he sent again the second time<S>8145</S>, he would<S>14</S> not come<S>935</S>.


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, See<S>7200</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s field<S>2513</S> is near<S>413</S> my<S>3027</S>, and he has barley<S>8184</S> there<S>3212</S>; go and set<S>3341</S> it on fire<S>784</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> set<S>3341</S> the field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
Then Joab<S>3097</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5650</S>, Why have your servants set<S>3341</S> my field<S>2513</S> on fire<S>784</S>?


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> answered<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold<S>7971</S>, I sent unto you<S>559</S>, saying, Come<S>935</S> here<S>7971</S>, that I may send you to the king<S>4428</S>, to say<S>559</S>, Why am I come<S>935</S> from Geshur<S>1650</S>? it would be better<S>2896</S> for me to have stayed there still<S>7200</S>: now therefore let me see the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>; and if there be<S>3426</S> any iniquity<S>5771</S> in me<S>4191</S>, let him kill me.


text:
So Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>7121</S>: and when he had called for Absalom<S>53</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> prepared<S>6213</S> him chariots<S>4818</S> and horses<S>5483</S>, and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S> to run<S>7323</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> rose up early<S>7925</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>: and it was so<S>376</S>, that when any man that had a controversy<S>7379</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>, then Absalom<S>53</S> called<S>7121</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, Of what<S>335</S> city<S>5892</S> are you<S>559</S>? And he said, Your servant<S>5650</S> is of one<S>259</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7200</S>, See, your matters<S>1697</S> are good<S>2896</S> and right<S>5228</S>; but there is no man deputized by the king<S>4428</S> to hear you<S>8085</S>.


text:
Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>7760</S>, Oh that I were made judge<S>8199</S> in the land<S>776</S>, that every man<S>376</S> which has any suit<S>7379</S> or cause<S>4941</S> might come<S>935</S> unto me<S>6663</S>, and I would do him justice!


text:
And it was so<S>376</S>, that when any man came near<S>7126</S> to him to do him bow<S>7812</S>, he put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>2388</S> him<S>5401</S>, and kissed him.


text:
And on this manner<S>1697</S> did<S>6213</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S> that came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> for judgment<S>4941</S>: so Absalom<S>53</S> stole<S>1589</S> the hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>7093</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>, that Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, I pray you<S>3212</S>, let me go and pay<S>7999</S> my vow<S>5088</S>, which I have vowed<S>5087</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
For your servant<S>5650</S> vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S> while I lived<S>3427</S> at Geshur<S>1650</S> in Syria<S>758</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If the Lord<S>3068</S> shall bring me again<S>7725</S> indeed to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, then I will serve<S>5647</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go in peace<S>7965</S>. So he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
But Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, As soon as you hear<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>, then you shall say<S>559</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> reigns<S>4427</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And with Absalom<S>53</S> went<S>1980</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that were called<S>7121</S>; and they went<S>1980</S> in their innocence<S>8537</S>, and they knew<S>3045</S> not any thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> sent<S>7971</S> for Ahithophel<S>302</S> the Gilonite<S>1526</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s counselor<S>3289</S>, from his city<S>5892</S>, even from Giloh<S>1542</S>, while he offered<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S>. And the conspiracy<S>7195</S> was strong<S>533</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> increased<S>7227</S> continually<S>1980</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>5046</S> to David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The hearts<S>3820</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto all his servants<S>5650</S> that were with him at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and let us flee<S>1272</S>; for we shall not else escape<S>6413</S> from<S>6440</S> Absalom<S>53</S>: make speed<S>4116</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, lest he overtake<S>5381</S> us suddenly<S>4116</S>, and bring<S>5080</S> evil<S>7451</S> upon us<S>5221</S>, and strike the city<S>5892</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>5650</S>, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall decide<S>977</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all his household<S>1004</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>4428</S>. And the king left<S>5800</S> ten<S>6235</S> women<S>802</S>, which were concubines<S>6370</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went forth<S>3318</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> after<S>7272</S> him<S>5975</S>, and stayed in a place<S>1004</S> that was far off<S>4801</S>.


text:
And all his servants<S>5650</S> passed on<S>5674</S> beside<S>3027</S> him<S>3774</S>; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites<S>6432</S>, and all the Gittites<S>1663</S>, six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> which came<S>935</S> after<S>7272</S> him from Gath<S>1661</S>, passed on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>, That Is Why go<S>3212</S> you also with us<S>7725</S>? return to your place<S>4725</S>, and stay<S>3427</S> with the king<S>4428</S>: for you are a stranger<S>5237</S>, and also an exile<S>1540</S>.


text:
Whereas you came<S>935</S> but yesterday<S>8543</S>, should I this day<S>3117</S> make you go<S>3212</S> up and down<S>5128</S> with us<S>1980</S>? seeing I go where I may<S>7725</S>, return you<S>7725</S>, and take back your brothers<S>251</S>: mercy<S>2617</S> and truth be with you<S>571</S>.


text:
And Ittai<S>863</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> lives<S>2416</S>, surely in what place<S>4725</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> shall be<S>4194</S>, whether in death or life<S>2416</S>, even there also will your servant be<S>5650</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Ittai<S>863</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and pass over<S>5674</S>. And Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, and all the little ones that were with him<S>2945</S>.


text:
And all the country<S>776</S> wept<S>1058</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>: the king<S>4428</S> also himself passed over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> passed over<S>5674</S>, toward<S>6440</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And behold Zadok<S>6659</S> also<S>3881</S>, and all the Levites were with him<S>5375</S>, bearing the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>: and they set down<S>3332</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>; and Abiathar<S>54</S> went up<S>5927</S>, until all the people<S>5971</S> had done<S>8552</S> passing<S>5674</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Zadok<S>6659</S>, Carry back<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> into the city<S>5892</S>: if I shall find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, he will bring me again<S>7725</S>, and show<S>7200</S> me both it<S>5116</S>, and his habitation:


text:
But if he thus say<S>559</S>, I have no delight<S>2654</S> in you<S>6213</S>; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seems<S>5869</S> good unto him<S>2896</S>.

The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> also unto Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, Are not you a seer<S>7200</S>? return<S>7725</S> into the city<S>5892</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> with you<S>290</S>, Ahimaaz your son<S>1121</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S>, I will stay<S>4102</S> in the plain<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, until there come<S>935</S> word<S>1697</S> from you to certify me<S>5046</S>.


text:
Zadok<S>6659</S> therefore and Abiathar<S>54</S> carried<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and they stayed there<S>3427</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> by the ascent<S>4608</S> of mountain Olivet<S>2132</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> as he went up<S>5927</S>, and had his head<S>7218</S> covered<S>2645</S>, and he went<S>1980</S> barefoot<S>3182</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> that was with him covered<S>2645</S> every man<S>376</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and they went up<S>5927</S>, weeping<S>1058</S> as they went up<S>5927</S>.


text:
And one told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Ahithophel<S>302</S> is among the conspirators<S>7194</S> with Absalom<S>53</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S>, I pray you<S>6098</S>, turn the counsel of Ahithophel<S>302</S> into foolishness<S>5528</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, that when David was come<S>935</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of the mountain<S>7812</S>, where he worshiped God<S>430</S>, behold<S>2365</S>, Hushai the Archite<S>757</S> came to meet<S>7125</S> him with his coat<S>3801</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>:


text:
Unto whom David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, If you pass on<S>5674</S> with me<S>4853</S>, then you shall be a burden unto me:


text:
But if you return<S>7725</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, and say<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, I will be your servant<S>5650</S>, O king<S>4428</S>; as I have been your father<S>1</S>'s servant<S>5650</S> until now<S>227</S>, so will I now also be your servant<S>5650</S>: then may you for me defeat<S>6565</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>.


text:
And have you not there with you Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>? therefore it shall be<S>1697</S>, that whatever thing you shall hear<S>8085</S> out of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, you shall tell<S>5046</S> it to Zadok<S>6659</S> and Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8147</S>, they have there with them their two sons<S>1121</S>, Ahimaaz<S>290</S> Zadok<S>6659</S>'s son<S>3083</S>, and Jonathan Abiathar<S>54</S>'s son<S>3027</S>; and by them you shall send<S>7971</S> unto me every thing<S>1697</S> that you can hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
So Hushai<S>2365</S> David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and Absalom<S>53</S> came<S>935</S> into Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> was a little<S>4592</S> past<S>5674</S> the top<S>7218</S> of the hill<S>6717</S>, behold, Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> met<S>7125</S> him<S>6776</S>, with a couple of donkeys<S>2543</S> saddled<S>2280</S>, and upon them two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> bunches of raisins<S>6778</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> of summer fruits<S>7019</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ziba<S>6717</S>, What mean you by these<S>6717</S>? And Ziba said<S>559</S>, The donkeys<S>2543</S> be for the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S> to ride on<S>7392</S>; and the bread<S>3899</S> and summer fruit<S>7019</S> for the young men<S>5288</S> to eat<S>398</S>; and the wine<S>3196</S>, that such as be faint<S>3287</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> may drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, And where is your master<S>113</S>'s son<S>1121</S>? And Ziba<S>6717</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Behold<S>3427</S>, he stays at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for he said<S>559</S>, To day<S>3117</S> shall the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> restore<S>7725</S> me the kingdom<S>4468</S> of my father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> to Ziba<S>6717</S>, Behold<S>4648</S>, your are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba<S>6717</S> said<S>559</S>, I humbly<S>7812</S> beg you that I may find<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And when king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Bahurim<S>980</S>, behold<S>3318</S>, there came out a man<S>376</S> of the family<S>4940</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Shimei<S>8096</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>: he came forth<S>3318</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> still as he came<S>3318</S>.


text:
And he cast<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at David<S>1732</S>, and at all the servants<S>5650</S> of king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> and all the mighty men<S>1368</S> were on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And thus said<S>559</S> Shimei<S>8096</S> when he cursed<S>7043</S>, Come out<S>3318</S>, come out<S>3318</S>, you bloody<S>1818</S> man<S>376</S>, and you man<S>376</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>:


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> has returned<S>7725</S> upon you all the blood<S>1818</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, in whose stead you have reigned<S>4427</S>; and the Lord<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> your son<S>1121</S>: and<S>7451</S>, behold, you are taken in your mischief, because you are a bloody<S>1818</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Why should this dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S> curse<S>7043</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>? let me go over<S>5674</S>, I pray you<S>5493</S>, and take off his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, you sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>? so let him curse<S>7043</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> has said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7043</S>, Curse David<S>1732</S>. Who shall then say<S>559</S>, Why have you done so<S>6213</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, Behold<S>1121</S>, my son, which came forth<S>3318</S> of my bowels<S>4578</S>, seeks<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>: how much more now may this Benjamite<S>1145</S> do it<S>3240</S>? let him alone, and let him curse<S>7043</S>; for the Lord<S>3068</S> has bidden him<S>559</S>.


text:
It may be that the Lord<S>3068</S> will look<S>7200</S> on my affliction<S>5869</S>, and that the Lord<S>3068</S> will repay<S>7725</S> me good<S>2896</S> for his cursing<S>7045</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And as David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, Shimei<S>8096</S> went along<S>1980</S> on the hill<S>2022</S>'s side<S>6763</S> over against<S>5980</S> him<S>7043</S>, and cursed as he went<S>1980</S>, and threw<S>5619</S> stones<S>68</S> at<S>5980</S> him<S>6080</S>, and cast dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>935</S>, came weary<S>5889</S>, and refreshed themselves there<S>5314</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Ahithophel with him<S>302</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2365</S>, when Hushai the Archite<S>757</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s friend<S>7463</S>, was come<S>935</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, that Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> said<S>559</S> to Hushai<S>2365</S>, Is this your kindness<S>2617</S> to your friend<S>7453</S>? why went<S>1980</S> you not with your friend<S>7453</S>?


text:
And Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, No<S>3068</S>; but whom the Lord, and this people<S>5971</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, choose<S>977</S>, his will I be<S>3427</S>, and with him will I stay.


text:
And again<S>8145</S>, whom should I serve<S>5647</S>? should I not serve in the presence<S>6440</S> of his son<S>1121</S>? as I have served<S>5647</S> in your father<S>1</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, so will I be in your presence<S>6440</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S> to Ahithophel<S>302</S>, Give<S>3051</S> counsel<S>6098</S> among you what we shall do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Go in<S>935</S> unto your father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S>, which he has left<S>3240</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the house<S>1004</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> shall hear<S>8085</S> that you are abhorred<S>887</S> of your father<S>1</S>: then shall the hands<S>3027</S> of all that are with you be strong<S>2388</S>.


text:
So they spread<S>5186</S> Absalom<S>53</S> a tent<S>168</S> upon the top of the house<S>1406</S>; and Absalom<S>53</S> went in<S>935</S> unto his father<S>1</S>'s concubines<S>6370</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, which he counseled<S>3289</S> in those days<S>3117</S>, was as if a man<S>376</S> had inquired<S>7592</S> at the oracle<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>: so was all the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S> both with David<S>1732</S> and with Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Moreover Ahithophel<S>302</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, Let me now choose out<S>977</S> twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and I will arise<S>6965</S> and pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> this night<S>3915</S>:


text:
And I will come<S>935</S> upon him while he is weary<S>3023</S> and weak<S>7504</S> handed<S>3027</S>, and will make him afraid<S>2729</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> that are with him shall flee<S>5127</S>; and I will strike<S>5221</S> the king only<S>4428</S>:


text:
And I will bring back<S>7725</S> all the people<S>5971</S> unto you<S>376</S>: the man whom you seek<S>1245</S> is as if all returned<S>7725</S>: so all the people<S>5971</S> shall be in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And the saying<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3474</S> Absalom<S>53</S> well<S>5869</S>, and all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, Call<S>7121</S> now Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> also<S>8085</S>, and let us hear likewise what he says<S>6310</S>.


text:
And when Hushai<S>2365</S> was come<S>935</S> to Absalom<S>53</S>, Absalom<S>53</S> spoke<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Ahithophel<S>302</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> after this manner<S>1697</S>: shall we do<S>6213</S> after his saying<S>1697</S>? if not<S>1696</S>; speak you.


text:
And Hushai<S>2365</S> said<S>559</S> unto Absalom<S>53</S>, The counsel<S>6098</S> that Ahithophel<S>302</S> has given<S>3289</S> is not good<S>2896</S> at this time<S>6471</S>.


text:
For<S>559</S>, said Hushai<S>2365</S>, you know<S>3045</S> your father<S>1</S> and his men<S>582</S>, that they be mighty men<S>1368</S>, and they are bitter<S>4751</S> in their minds<S>5315</S>, as a bear<S>1677</S> robbed<S>7909</S> of her whelps in the field<S>7704</S>: and your father<S>1</S> is a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and will not lodge<S>3885</S> with the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Behold<S>2244</S>, he is hid now in some<S>259</S> pit<S>6354</S>, or in some<S>259</S> other place<S>4725</S>: and it will come to pass<S>5307</S>, when some of them are overthrown at the first<S>8462</S>, that whoever<S>8085</S> hears<S>8085</S> it will say<S>559</S>, There is a slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S> that follow<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And he also that is valiant<S>1121</S>, whose heart<S>3820</S> is as the heart<S>3820</S> of a lion<S>738</S>, shall utterly<S>4549</S> melt<S>4549</S>: for all Israel<S>3478</S> knows<S>3045</S> that your father<S>1</S> is a mighty man<S>1368</S>, and they which are with him are valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>.


text:
Therefore I counsel<S>3289</S> that all Israel<S>3478</S> be generally<S>622</S> gathered<S>622</S> unto you<S>1835</S>, from Dan even to Beer<S>884</S>–sheba, as the sand<S>2344</S> that is by the sea<S>3220</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; and that you go<S>1980</S> to battle<S>7128</S> in your own person<S>6440</S>.


text:
So shall we come<S>935</S> upon him in some<S>259</S> place<S>4725</S> where he shall be found<S>4672</S>, and we will light<S>5168</S> upon him as the dew<S>2919</S> falls<S>5307</S> on the ground<S>127</S>: and of him and of all the men<S>582</S> that are with him there shall not be left<S>3498</S> so much as<S>1571</S> one<S>259</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>518</S>, if he be gotten<S>622</S> into a city<S>5892</S>, then shall all Israel<S>3478</S> bring<S>5375</S> ropes<S>2256</S> to that city<S>5892</S>, and we will pull<S>5498</S> it into the river<S>5158</S>, until there be not one<S>1571</S> small stone<S>6872</S> found there<S>4672</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, The counsel<S>6098</S> of Hushai<S>2365</S> the Archite<S>757</S> is better<S>2896</S> than the counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>. For the Lord<S>3068</S> had appointed<S>6680</S> to defeat<S>6565</S> the good<S>2896</S> counsel<S>6098</S> of Ahithophel<S>302</S>, to the intent<S>5668</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> might bring<S>935</S> evil<S>7451</S> upon Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Hushai<S>2365</S> unto Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, Thus and thus did Ahithophel<S>302</S> counsel<S>3289</S> Absalom<S>53</S> and the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and thus and thus have I counseled<S>3289</S>.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S> quickly<S>4120</S>, and tell<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lodge<S>3885</S> not this night<S>3915</S> in the plains<S>6160</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>, but speedily<S>5674</S> pass over<S>5674</S>; lest the king<S>4428</S> be swallowed up<S>1104</S>, and all the people that are with him<S>5971</S>.


text:
Now Jonathan<S>3083</S> and Ahimaaz<S>290</S> stayed<S>5975</S> by En<S>5883</S>–rogel; for they might<S>3201</S> not be seen<S>7200</S> to come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>: and a wench<S>8198</S> went<S>1980</S> and told<S>5046</S> them<S>3212</S>; and they went and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Nevertheless a lad<S>5288</S> saw<S>7200</S> them<S>5046</S>, and told Absalom<S>53</S>: but they went<S>3212</S> both<S>8147</S> of them away quickly<S>4120</S>, and came<S>935</S> to a man<S>376</S>'s house<S>1004</S> in Bahurim<S>980</S>, which had a well<S>875</S> in his court<S>2691</S>; where<S>8033</S> they went down<S>3381</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> took<S>3947</S> and spread<S>6566</S> a covering<S>4539</S> over the well<S>875</S>'s mouth<S>6440</S>, and spread<S>7849</S> ground corn<S>7383</S> on it<S>1697</S>; and the thing was not known<S>3045</S>.

And when Absalom<S>53</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S> to the woman<S>802</S> to the house<S>1004</S>, they said<S>559</S>, Where is Ahimaaz<S>290</S> and Jonathan<S>3083</S>? And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5674</S>, They be gone over the brook<S>4323</S> of water<S>4325</S>. And when they had sought<S>1245</S> and could not find<S>4672</S> them<S>7725</S>, they returned to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after they were departed<S>3212</S>, that they came up<S>5927</S> out of the well<S>875</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and pass quickly<S>4120</S> over<S>5674</S> the water<S>4325</S>: for thus has Ahithophel<S>302</S> counseled against you<S>3289</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>5674</S>, and they passed over Jordan<S>3383</S>: by the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> there lacked<S>5737</S> not one<S>259</S> of them that was not gone over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And when Ahithophel<S>302</S> saw<S>7200</S> that his counsel<S>6098</S> was not followed<S>6213</S>, he saddled<S>2280</S> his donkey<S>2543</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and went him home<S>3212</S> to his house<S>1004</S>, to his city<S>5892</S>, and put his household<S>1004</S> in order<S>6680</S>, and hanged<S>2614</S> himself<S>4191</S>, and died, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the tomb<S>6913</S> of his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S> passed over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>, he and all the men<S>376</S> of Israel with him<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> made<S>7760</S> Amasa<S>6021</S> captain of the army<S>6635</S> instead of Joab<S>3097</S>: which Amasa<S>6021</S> was a man<S>376</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Ithra<S>3501</S> an Israelite<S>3481</S>, that went in<S>935</S> to Abigail<S>26</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S>, sister<S>269</S> to Zeruiah<S>6870</S> Joab<S>3097</S>'s mother<S>517</S>.


text:
So Israel<S>3478</S> and Absalom<S>53</S> pitched<S>2583</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David was come<S>935</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>, that Shobi<S>7629</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nahash<S>5176</S> of Rabbah<S>7237</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and Machir<S>4353</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ammiel<S>5988</S> of Lo<S>3810</S>–debar, and Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> of Rogelim<S>7274</S>,


text:
Brought<S>5066</S> beds<S>4904</S>, and basins<S>5592</S>, and earthen<S>3335</S> vessels<S>3627</S>, and wheat<S>2406</S>, and barley<S>8184</S>, and flour<S>7058</S>, and parched<S>7039</S> corn<S>6321</S>, and beans, and lentil<S>5742</S>, and parched grain<S>7039</S>,


text:
And honey<S>1706</S>, and butter<S>2529</S>, and sheep<S>6629</S>, and cheese<S>8194</S> of cows<S>1241</S>, for David<S>1732</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>398</S>, to eat: for they said<S>559</S>, The people<S>5971</S> are hungry<S>7457</S>, and weary<S>5889</S>, and thirsty<S>6771</S>, in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>7760</S>, and set captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds over them<S>3967</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent forth<S>7971</S> a third part<S>7992</S> of the people<S>5971</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, Joab<S>3097</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, and a third part<S>7992</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Ittai<S>863</S> the Gittite<S>1663</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, I will surely<S>3318</S> go forth<S>3318</S> with you myself also<S>589</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>559</S>, You shall not go forth<S>3318</S>: for if we flee<S>5127</S> away<S>5127</S>, they will not care<S>7760</S> for us<S>2677</S>; neither if half of us die<S>4191</S>, will they care<S>7760</S> for us<S>3644</S>: but now you are worth ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of us<S>2896</S>: therefore now it is better that you help<S>5826</S> us out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5869</S>, What seems you best<S>3190</S> I will do<S>6213</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> by the gate<S>8179</S> side<S>3027</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> came out<S>3318</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S> and by thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Joab<S>3097</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Deal gently<S>328</S> for my sake with the young man<S>5288</S>, even with Absalom<S>53</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> when the king<S>4428</S> gave all the captains<S>8269</S> charge<S>6680</S> concerning<S>1697</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> was in the wood<S>3293</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>;


text:
Where the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were slain<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and there was there a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> that day<S>3117</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> thousand men<S>505</S>.


text:
For the battle<S>4421</S> was there scattered<S>6327</S> over the face<S>6440</S> of all the country<S>776</S>: and the wood<S>3293</S> devoured<S>398</S> more<S>7235</S> people<S>5971</S> that day<S>3117</S> than the sword<S>2719</S> devoured<S>398</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S> met<S>7122</S> the servants<S>6440</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And Absalom<S>53</S> rode<S>7392</S> upon a mule<S>6505</S>, and the mule<S>6505</S> went<S>935</S> under the thick boughs<S>7730</S> of a great<S>1419</S> oak<S>424</S>, and his head<S>7218</S> caught hold<S>2388</S> of the oak<S>424</S>, and he was taken up<S>5414</S> between the heaven<S>8064</S> and the earth<S>776</S>; and the mule<S>6505</S> that was under him went away<S>5674</S>.


text:
And a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5046</S>, and told Joab<S>3097</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, I saw Absalom<S>53</S> hanged<S>8518</S> in an oak<S>424</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> unto the man<S>376</S> that told<S>5046</S> him<S>7200</S>, And, behold, you saw him<S>5221</S>, and why did you not strike him there to the ground<S>776</S>? and I would have given<S>5414</S> you ten<S>6235</S> shekels of silver<S>3701</S>, and a<S>259</S> belt<S>2290</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joab<S>3097</S>, Though<S>3863</S> I should receive<S>8254</S> a thousand<S>505</S> shekels of silver<S>3701</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, yet would I not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>: for in our hearing<S>241</S> the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> you and Abishai<S>52</S> and Ittai<S>863</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Beware<S>8104</S> that none touch the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Otherwise<S>176</S> I should have worked<S>6213</S> falsehood<S>8267</S> against my own life<S>5315</S>: for there is no matter<S>1697</S> hid<S>3582</S> from the king<S>4428</S>, and you yourself would have set yourself against me<S>3320</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, I may not stay<S>3176</S> thus with you<S>6440</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> darts<S>7626</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and thrust<S>8628</S> them through the heart<S>3820</S> of Absalom<S>53</S>, while he was yet alive<S>2416</S> in the middle of the oak<S>424</S>.


text:
And ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S> that bore<S>5375</S> Joab<S>3097</S>'s armor<S>3627</S> compassed about<S>5437</S> and struck<S>5221</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and killed him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: for Joab<S>3097</S> held back<S>2820</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> him into a great<S>1419</S> pit<S>6354</S> in the wood<S>3293</S>, and laid<S>5324</S> a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> heap<S>1530</S> of stones<S>68</S> upon him<S>3478</S>: and all Israel fled<S>5127</S> every one<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
Now Absalom<S>53</S> in his lifetime<S>2416</S> had taken<S>3947</S> and reared up<S>5324</S> for himself a pillar<S>4678</S>, which is in the king<S>4428</S>'s valley<S>6010</S>: for he said<S>559</S>, I have no son<S>1121</S> to keep my name<S>8034</S> in memory<S>2142</S>: and he called<S>7121</S> the pillar<S>4678</S> after his own name<S>8034</S>: and it is called<S>7121</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, Absalom<S>53</S>'s place<S>3027</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>, Let me now run<S>7323</S>, and carry<S>1319</S> the king<S>4428</S> tidings<S>1319</S>, how that the Lord<S>3068</S> has avenged<S>8199</S> him of his enemies<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, You shall not carry tidings<S>1309</S> this day<S>3117</S>, but you shall carry tidings<S>1319</S> another<S>312</S> day<S>3117</S>: but this day<S>3117</S> you shall carry no tidings<S>1319</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S> is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Joab<S>3097</S> to Cushi<S>3569</S>, Go<S>3212</S> tell<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S> what you have seen<S>7200</S>. And Cushi<S>3569</S> bowed<S>7812</S> himself unto Joab<S>3097</S>, and ran<S>7323</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S> yet again<S>3254</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, But whatever happens<S>4100</S>, let me<S>7323</S>, I pray you, also run after<S>310</S> Cushi<S>3569</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> said<S>559</S>, Why will you run<S>7323</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, seeing that you have no tidings<S>1309</S> ready<S>4672</S>?


text:
But whatever happens<S>7323</S>, said he, let me run. And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7323</S>, Run. Then Ahimaaz<S>290</S> ran<S>7323</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of the plain<S>3603</S>, and overran<S>5674</S> Cushi<S>3569</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sat<S>3427</S> between the two<S>8147</S> gates<S>8179</S>: and the watchman<S>6822</S> went up<S>3212</S> to the roof<S>1406</S> over the gate<S>8179</S> unto the wall<S>2346</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and behold a man<S>376</S> running alone<S>7323</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> cried<S>7121</S>, and told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, If he be alone<S>1309</S>, there is tidings in his mouth<S>6310</S>. And he came<S>3212</S> apace<S>1980</S>, and drew near<S>7131</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> saw<S>7200</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S> running<S>7323</S>: and the watchman<S>6822</S> called<S>7121</S> unto the porter<S>7778</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold another man<S>376</S> running<S>7323</S> alone<S>4428</S>. And the king said<S>559</S>, He also brings tidings<S>1319</S>.


text:
And the watchman<S>6822</S> said<S>559</S>, I think<S>7200</S> the running<S>4794</S> of the foremost<S>7223</S> is like the running<S>4794</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, He is a good<S>2896</S> man<S>376</S>, and comes<S>935</S> with good<S>2896</S> tidings<S>1309</S>.


text:
And Ahimaaz<S>290</S> called<S>7121</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, All is well<S>7965</S>. And he fell down<S>7812</S> to the earth<S>776</S> upon his face<S>639</S> before the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, which has delivered up<S>5462</S> the men<S>582</S> that lifted up<S>5375</S> their hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Is the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S> safe<S>7965</S>? And Ahimaaz<S>290</S> answered<S>559</S>, When Joab<S>3097</S> sent<S>7971</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s servant<S>5650</S>, and me your servant<S>5650</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> a great<S>1419</S> tumult<S>1995</S>, but I knew not what it was<S>3045</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5437</S>, Turn aside, and stand<S>3320</S> here<S>3541</S>. And he turned aside<S>5437</S>, and stood still<S>5975</S>.


text:
And<S>3569</S>, behold, Cushi came<S>935</S>; and Cushi<S>3569</S> said<S>559</S>, Tidings<S>1319</S>, my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has avenged<S>8199</S> you this day<S>3117</S> of all them<S>3027</S> that rose up against you<S>6965</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Cushi<S>3569</S>, Is the young man<S>5288</S> Absalom<S>53</S> safe<S>7965</S>? And Cushi<S>3569</S> answered<S>559</S>, The enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and all that rise<S>6965</S> against you to do you hurt<S>7451</S>, be as that young man is<S>5288</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> was much moved<S>7264</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to the chamber<S>5944</S> over the gate<S>8179</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>: and as he went<S>3212</S>, thus he said<S>559</S>, O my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>! would God I had died<S>4191</S> for you<S>5414</S>, O Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king weeps<S>1058</S> and mourns<S>56</S> for Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And the victory<S>8668</S> that day<S>3117</S> was turned into mourning<S>60</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S> that day<S>3117</S> how the king<S>4428</S> was grieved<S>6087</S> for his son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> went<S>935</S> them by stealth<S>1589</S> that day<S>3117</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, as people<S>5971</S> being ashamed<S>3637</S> steal away<S>1589</S> when they flee<S>5127</S> in battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> covered<S>3813</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and the king<S>4428</S> cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, O my son<S>1121</S> Absalom<S>53</S>, O Absalom<S>53</S>, my son<S>1121</S>, my son<S>1121</S>!

And Joab<S>3097</S> came<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, You have shamed<S>3001</S> this day<S>3117</S> the faces<S>6440</S> of all your servants<S>5650</S>, which this day<S>3117</S> have saved<S>4422</S> your life<S>5315</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your sons<S>1121</S> and of your daughters<S>1323</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your wives<S>802</S>, and the lives<S>5315</S> of your concubines<S>6370</S>;


text:
In that you love<S>157</S> your enemies<S>8130</S>, and hate<S>8130</S> your friends<S>157</S>. For you have declared<S>5046</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that you regard neither princes<S>8269</S> nor servants<S>5650</S>: for this day<S>3117</S> I perceive<S>3045</S>, that if<S>3863</S> Absalom<S>53</S> had lived<S>2416</S>, and all we had died<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>, then it had pleased you well<S>3477</S>.


text:
Now therefore arise<S>6965</S>, go forth<S>3318</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3820</S> unto your servants<S>5650</S>: for I swear<S>7650</S> by the Lord<S>3068</S>, if you go not forth<S>3318</S>, there will not stay<S>3885</S> one<S>376</S> with you this night<S>3915</S>: and that will be worse<S>7489</S> unto you than all the evil<S>7451</S> that happened<S>935</S> you from your youth until now<S>5271</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king does sit<S>3427</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>: for Israel<S>3478</S> had fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> were at strife<S>1777</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The king<S>4428</S> saved<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and he delivered<S>4422</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and now he is fled<S>1272</S> out of the land<S>776</S> for Absalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Absalom<S>53</S>, whom we anointed<S>4886</S> over us<S>4191</S>, is dead in battle<S>4421</S>. Now therefore why speak<S>2790</S> you not a word of bringing<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S>?


text:
And king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Zadok<S>6659</S> and to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why are you the last<S>314</S> to bring<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> back<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S>? seeing the speech<S>1697</S> of all Israel<S>3478</S> is come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, even to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
You are my brothers<S>251</S>, you are my bones<S>6106</S> and my flesh<S>1320</S>: why then are you the last<S>314</S> to bring back<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And say<S>559</S> you to Amasa<S>6021</S>, Are you not of my bone<S>6106</S>, and of my flesh<S>1320</S>? God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>8269</S>, if you be not captain of the army<S>6635</S> before<S>6440</S> me continually<S>3117</S> in the room<S>8478</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>.


text:
And he bowed<S>5186</S> the heart<S>3824</S> of all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even as the heart of one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>; so that they sent<S>7971</S> this word unto the king<S>4428</S>, Return<S>7725</S> you<S>5650</S>, and all your servants.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jordan<S>3383</S>. And Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, to go<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, to conduct<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S> over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, which was of Bahurim<S>980</S>, hurried<S>4116</S> and came down<S>3381</S> with the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And there were a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1145</S> with him<S>6717</S>, and Ziba the servant<S>5288</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and his fifteen<S>2568</S> sons<S>1121</S> and his twenty<S>6242</S> servants<S>5650</S> with him<S>6743</S>; and they went over Jordan<S>3383</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And there went over<S>5674</S> a ferry boat<S>5679</S> to carry over<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s household<S>1004</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> what he thought<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S>. And Shimei<S>8096</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S> fell down<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, as he was come over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>;


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Let not my lord<S>113</S> impute<S>2803</S> iniquity<S>5771</S> unto me<S>2142</S>, neither do you remember that which your servant<S>5650</S> did perversely<S>5753</S> the day<S>3117</S> that my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> should take<S>7760</S> it to his heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
For your servant<S>5650</S> does know<S>3045</S> that I have sinned<S>2398</S>: therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I am come the first<S>7223</S> this day<S>3117</S> of all the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
But Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Shall not Shimei<S>8096</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> for this<S>7043</S>, because he cursed the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I to do with you<S>1121</S>, you sons of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, that you should this day<S>3117</S> be adversaries<S>7854</S> unto me<S>376</S>? shall there any man be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? for do not I know<S>3045</S> that I am this day<S>3117</S> king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Therefore the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Shimei<S>8096</S>, You shall not die<S>4191</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> swore unto him<S>7650</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and had neither<S>3808</S> dressed<S>6213</S> his feet<S>7272</S>, nor trimmed<S>6213</S> his beard<S>8222</S>, nor washed<S>3526</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, from the day<S>3117</S> the king<S>4428</S> departed<S>3212</S> until the day<S>3117</S> he came<S>935</S> again in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when he was come to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the king<S>4428</S>, that the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1980</S>, Why went not you with me<S>4648</S>, Mephibosheth?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, my servant<S>5650</S> deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>5650</S>: for your servant said<S>559</S>, I will saddle<S>2280</S> me an donkey<S>2543</S>, that I may ride<S>7392</S> on it<S>3212</S>, and go to the king<S>4428</S>; because your servant<S>5650</S> is lame<S>6455</S>.


text:
And he has slandered<S>7270</S> your servant<S>5650</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; but my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> is as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>: do<S>6213</S> therefore what is good<S>2896</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
For all of my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> were but<S>3808</S> dead<S>4194</S> men<S>582</S> before my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>: yet did you set<S>7896</S> your servant<S>5650</S> among them that did eat<S>398</S> at your own table<S>7979</S>. What right<S>6666</S> therefore have<S>3426</S> I yet to cry<S>2199</S> any more unto the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1696</S>, Why speak you any more of your matters<S>1697</S>? I have said<S>559</S>, You and Ziba<S>6717</S> divide<S>2505</S> the land<S>7704</S>.


text:
And Mephibosheth<S>4648</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Yes<S>3947</S>, let him take all<S>310</S>, forasmuch as<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> is come again<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S> unto his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> came down<S>3381</S> from Rogelim<S>7274</S>, and went over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>, to conduct<S>7971</S> him over Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Now Barzillai<S>1271</S> was a very<S>3966</S> aged<S>2204</S> man<S>8084</S>, even eighty years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>: and he had provided the king<S>4428</S> of sustenance<S>3557</S> while he lay<S>7871</S> at Mahanaim<S>4266</S>; for he was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Barzillai<S>1271</S>, Come you over<S>5674</S> with me<S>3557</S>, and I will feed you with me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And Barzillai<S>1271</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, How long<S>3117</S> have I to live<S>8141</S>, that I should go up<S>5927</S> with the king<S>4428</S> unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
I am this day<S>3117</S> eighty<S>8084</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>: and can I discern<S>3045</S> between good<S>2896</S> and evil<S>7451</S>? can your servant<S>5650</S> taste<S>2938</S> what<S>834</S> I eat<S>398</S> or what<S>834</S> I drink<S>8354</S>? can I hear<S>8085</S> any more the voice<S>6963</S> of singing men<S>7891</S> and singing women<S>7891</S>? why then should your servant<S>5650</S> be yet a burden<S>4853</S> unto my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
Your servant<S>5650</S> will go<S>5674</S> a little way<S>4592</S> over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S> with the king<S>4428</S>: and why should the king<S>4428</S> recompense<S>1580</S> it me with such a reward<S>1578</S>?


text:
Let your servant<S>5650</S>, I pray you<S>7725</S>, turn back again, that I may die<S>4191</S> in my own city<S>5892</S>, and be buried by the grave<S>6913</S> of my father<S>1</S> and of my mother<S>517</S>. But behold your servant<S>5650</S> Chimham<S>3643</S>; let him go over<S>5674</S> with my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and do<S>6213</S> to him what shall seem good unto you<S>2896</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>559</S>, Chimham<S>3643</S> shall go<S>5674</S> over with me<S>6213</S>, and I will do to him that which shall seem good<S>2896</S> unto you<S>977</S>: and whatever you shall require of me<S>6213</S>, that will I do for you.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> went over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>. And when the king<S>4428</S> was come over<S>5674</S>, the king<S>4428</S> kissed<S>5401</S> Barzillai<S>1271</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> him<S>7725</S>; and he returned unto his own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> went on<S>5674</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Chimham<S>3643</S> went on<S>5674</S> with him<S>5971</S>: and all the people of Judah<S>3063</S> conducted<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and also half<S>2677</S> the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And<S>376</S>, behold, all the men of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Why have our brothers<S>251</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> stolen you away<S>1589</S>, and have brought<S>5674</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and his household<S>1004</S>, and all David<S>1732</S>'s men<S>582</S> with him<S>3383</S>, over Jordan?


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Because the king<S>4428</S> is near of kin<S>7138</S> to us<S>2734</S>: why then be you angry for this matter<S>1697</S>? have we eaten<S>398</S> at all<S>398</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s cost<S>5375</S>? or has he given us any gift<S>5379</S>?


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have ten<S>6235</S> parts<S>3027</S> in the king<S>4428</S>, and we<S>589</S> have also more right in David<S>1732</S> than you<S>7043</S>: why then did you despise us<S>1697</S>, that our advice should not be first<S>7223</S> had in bringing back<S>7725</S> our king<S>4428</S>? And the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were fiercer<S>7185</S> than the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after this<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I go up<S>5927</S> into any<S>259</S> of the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5927</S>, Go up. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Where shall I go up<S>5927</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Unto Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> there<S>8147</S>, and his two wives<S>802</S> also<S>293</S>, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
And his men<S>582</S> that were with him did David<S>1732</S> bring up<S>5927</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his household<S>1004</S>: and they lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S>, and there they anointed<S>4886</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, That the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>–gilead were they that buried<S>6912</S> Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>–gilead, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1288</S>, Blessed be you of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that you have showed<S>6213</S> this kindness<S>2617</S> unto your lord<S>113</S>, even unto Saul<S>7586</S>, and have buried him<S>6912</S>.


text:
And now the Lord<S>3068</S> show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> and truth<S>571</S> unto you<S>6213</S>: and I also will reward you for this kindness<S>2896</S>, because you have done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Therefore now let your hands<S>3027</S> be strengthened<S>2388</S>, and be you valiant<S>1121</S>: for your master<S>113</S> Saul<S>7586</S> is dead<S>4191</S>, and also the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> have anointed<S>4886</S> me king over them<S>4428</S>.


text:
But Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s army<S>6635</S>, took<S>3947</S> Ish<S>378</S>–bosheth the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and brought him over<S>5674</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>;


text:
And made him king<S>4427</S> over Gilead<S>1568</S>, and over the Ashurites<S>805</S>, and over Jezreel<S>3157</S>, and over Ephraim<S>669</S>, and over Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and over all Israel<S>3478</S>.

Ish<S>378</S>–bosheth Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S> was forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>. But the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> followed<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And the time<S>4557</S> that David<S>1732</S> was king<S>4428</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> and six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of Ish<S>378</S>–bosheth the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, went out<S>3318</S> from Mahanaim<S>4266</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>, went out<S>3318</S>, and met<S>6298</S> together<S>3162</S> by the pool<S>1295</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S>: and they sat down<S>3427</S>, the one on the one side of the pool<S>1295</S>, and the other on the other side of the pool<S>1295</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, Let the young men<S>5288</S> now arise<S>6965</S>, and play<S>7832</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>3097</S>. And Joab said<S>559</S>, Let them arise<S>6965</S>.


text:
Then there arose<S>6965</S> and went over<S>5674</S> by number<S>4557</S> twelve<S>8147</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, which pertained to Ish<S>378</S>–bosheth the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And they caught<S>2388</S> every one<S>376</S> his fellow<S>7453</S> by the head<S>7218</S>, and thrust his sword<S>2719</S> in his fellow<S>7453</S>'s side<S>6654</S>; so they fell down<S>5307</S> together<S>3162</S>: that is why that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S> Helkath<S>2521</S>–hazzurim, which is in Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And there was a very<S>3966</S> severe<S>7186</S> battle<S>4421</S> that day<S>3117</S>; and Abner<S>74</S> was beaten<S>5062</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, before<S>6440</S> the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And there were three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> there<S>3097</S>, Joab, and Abishai<S>52</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>: and Asahel<S>6214</S> was as light<S>7031</S> of foot<S>7272</S> as a<S>259</S> wild<S>7704</S> gazelle<S>6643</S>.


text:
And Asahel<S>6214</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>; and in going<S>3212</S> he turned<S>5186</S> not to the right hand<S>3225</S> nor to the left<S>8040</S> from following<S>310</S> Abner<S>74</S>.


text:
Then Abner<S>74</S> looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Are you Asahel<S>6214</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, I am.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5186</S>, Turn you aside to your right hand<S>3225</S> or to your left<S>8040</S>, and lay you hold<S>270</S> on one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and take<S>3947</S> you his armor<S>2488</S>. But Asahel<S>6214</S> would<S>14</S> not turn aside<S>5493</S> from following of him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S> again<S>3254</S> to Asahel<S>6214</S>, Turn you aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>5221</S>: that is why should I strike you to the ground<S>776</S>? how then should I hold up<S>5375</S> my face<S>6440</S> to Joab<S>3097</S> your brother<S>251</S>?


text:
But he refused<S>3985</S> to turn aside<S>5493</S>: that is why Abner<S>74</S> with the hinder end<S>310</S> of the spear<S>2595</S> struck<S>5221</S> him under<S>413</S> the fifth<S>2570</S> rib<S>2595</S>, that the spear came out<S>3318</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>; and he fell down there<S>4191</S>, and died in the same place<S>8478</S>: and it came to pass<S>935</S>, that as many as came to the place<S>4725</S> where Asahel<S>6214</S> fell down<S>5307</S> and died<S>4191</S> stood still<S>5975</S>.
